This is a matter that maybe should also be discussed on 'forum'. I don't know how to initiate a joint discussion on both lists. There is a comment on Roland Mainz's changes to make BIGREQUEST size tunable. Further comments are welcome.
Egbert. =================== comment by Juliusz Chroboczek ======================== Roland, The below is not an objection to your change, just an explanation. XFree86 does not reschedule clients within requests; all rescheduling happens at a request boundary. Thus, with very large requests it is possible for a client to lock-out other clients for noticeable amounts of time. The situation is even worse on the SI, where scheduling is done by counting requests (rather than measuring time, as is done on XFree86). There, using big requests can impact the server's fairness in a big way. If Mozilla needs big requests to function with half-decent performance, then Mozilla is broken and should be fixed. Including work-arounds in XFree86 is counter-productive in the long term. I would like to suggest that you should file a bug with Mozilla. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
