Not so. It has to create a pipe, start the program on one of its ends, and *then* feed the data into the other end. Without having measured it, I would guess that creating the pipe alone already takes about as much time as opening a TCP connection to localhost. But both of these are dwarfed by the time it takes to start up an entire new process. -- Tilman Schmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phoenix Software GmbH Tel. +49 228 97199 0 Adolf-Hombitzer-Str. 12 Fax +49 228 97199 99 53227 Bonn, Germany http://www.phoenixsoftware.de ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
