Dear list, i'm working on a partial C implementation of the memcache PERL client. The part i rewrote in C was a big loop around a select that handled read and write from the various memcached server.
I was expecting the libevent code to be quicker or least not slower than a standard select call. With linux, this assumption seems true, but under Freebsd it seems false. Tracing the syscall with strace shows that clock_gettime is called on average 3 times between a read or write event. % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 50.35 1.904478 43 44722 clock_gettime 22.20 0.839851 62 13623 read I'm wondering if there is a solution to reduce the number of calls to clock_gettime or a way to make them less costly. If not maybe i should do the loop around a select in C like it was done in PERL.
