Agreed. I have been poking around google looking for an article I read months ago saying that mmap of files is slighly faster in low memory usage situations, but much slower in high memory usage situations because the kernel doesn't know as much about the file access in mmap as it does with stdio. I will find it. :-) -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
