Some options As I tought then... maybe some stuff in the emc2 build system isn't aware of these things (after all the reference system is the ubuntu kernel. I don't know if there is a K7 optimized kernel for that). > And Speed, Power and Latency are 3 dirrerent terms with completely And that's why batch operating systems measure throughput :PP ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
