I think we're in agreement here. My point was much the same as yours: we care about 1/2p performance, and we want solutions that scale on the high end too. > We've made a good progress.

Linux is giving us good competition in this area. As we improve our performance, they're also pushing performance improvements in their code. It means more fun for everyone. :P This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list [email protected]
