So buggy in the sense of not making use of faster syscalls, right? It won't
break
in any visible way, correct?
So if this heavy int80 syscall use happens even with the latest version of
Debian
as well then it would be nice to figure out what's wrong there, and provide an
optimization patch to their libc guys or so - to make sure we fully understand
the
problem.
