Ed, Not sure I got your point. Anyway, it wasn't my intention to make a statement on how costly address space creation actually is (I simply don't have a clue). But, thinking highlevel that at least some control blocks have to be build, it cannot come for free. Then, if it wasn't something expensisve, why would IBM then had implemented the concept of BPX UNIX initiators (aka BPXAS)?
These are my conclusions which are not based on real performance figures or code knowledge. So, I may well have drawn wrong conclusions. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
