NOTE WELL! Used only for benchmarking: the rtsig_dealloc routine may not free everything it needs to! Out of curiousity, how did the benchmarks turn out? Any reason to try to get rtsig working again in the mainline distribution? -- Nick ___ Libevent-users mailing list Libevent-users@monkey.org http://monkeymail.org/mailman/listinfo/libevent-users

Nick On Fedora 8 (2.6.24.5-85.fc8), the results were consistantly a little worse than epoll. I didn't check whether the benchmark ever causes signal queue overflow, which is the nightmarish part of using RT signals.
