Given that I don't know what routines in the programs or libraries they use are running when they're consuming that CPU time, I have absolutely no idea whether you're right or not to say that. That's why I wanted the profiling data - so that we *know* what routines are consuming the CPU time, not just *guessing*. Can you show us the source code to the parts of your program that make libpcap calls? _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
