Yes. The problem comes when you have things in the cache (ie: a browser), there's no disk I/O and you want it to render faster. But no, i don't feel bad because my syslog isn't p3 optimized.... it'd be a waste of time for most of apps. But for some very general libraries (ie: libc, qt/gtk/gnome, X) it's not a bad idea. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
