[...] a very clintonesque definition indeed ;-) what is relevant is the latency to switch from one process to another one. And this is what we call a context switch.

You are comparing stack & caller-saved register switching performance (which is just a small part of context switching and has no standing alone) against full Linux context switch performance (this is what i quoted), and thus you have won my 'Mindcraft benchmark of the day' award :-) Ingo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
