The other consideration is that our syscalls are generally pretty quick on most of our platforms. We don't normally context switch for a syscall - well, we save and restore registers, but that isn't too bad compared to the i386 tss and ldt etc switches for process context switches. -- Peter Wemm - [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 _______________________________________________ freebsd-performance@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-performance To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
