Doesn't look like straightforward solution for me. In my case existing drivers will benefit from my patch, in async case they should be rewritten. We don't use libpq directly, we use native pgsql module from php. Even with that, kernel can wait for milliseconds — why should we limit precision 1000x times and reinvent milliseconds again in userspace? -- Regards, Ian Babrou http://bobrik.name http://twitter.com/ibobrik skype:i.babrou -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
