Has anyone a data point for similar compilers on Linux for zseries and Linux for x86?

Are more address space creations nowadays due to UNIX fork() or batch initiators? (Of course this is site-dependent.) I suspect AS creation is still optimized for batch job steps ("BPXAS ON INTRDR"). This may be suboptimal. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
