This is a good point wrt top/ps. But. We will never get rid of vsprintf in kernel printing numbers. And inevitably there are scenarios where for one reason or another someone would need to print LOTS AND LOTS of them. It does make perfect sense to optimize that, even after top/ps would start using a more efficient channel to get their data. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
