A buddy asked me: "At a previous employer, someone had an article, poster or something (I know - real specific - it was 15+ years ago) that tried to put the time for computer events into perspective. It started with the quickest instruction (RR) having a baseline of 1 second. It the proceeded to go through all of the instructions, RX, RS, SS etc. and then into I/O, MIH and so on. Have you ever heard or seen anything like this? I'm having trouble stressing the importance of poor I/O response time and I thought this might be of use."
I had to tell him I hadn't ever seen such a thing, but would like to. I figure if anyone else alive knows what this is/was, they'll be on one of these two lists...! Anyone? -- ...phsiii Phil Smith III Velocity Software www.velocity-software.com (703) 476-4511 (home office) (703) 568-6662 (cell)
