Actually -all- the threads would have to be idle for them to be swapped out.
Threads share all memory, all open files, everything. The only difference is the internal CPU registers, which are stored in the process table in the kernel. You gain maybe a couple hundred bytes in the process table by having one less thread. (And since that is kernel memory and never swapped, who cares... ) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40831 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
