It's unsurprising that a POSIX program ported straight to an independently developed, properly done POSIX layer performs better than a version of that program hacked to directly target the platform. (By the way, what do you mean by 50% faster? 50% faster than 3 minutes is 2 minutes). > Why are the Windows XP clients so much slower? Because Windows XP is a poorly implemented, slow operating system kernel with sluggish filesystem operations? _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
