At least glibc can affect perforamnce very much :/
Ick - no one builds binaries statically in the real world. And, when you build binaries statically, you lose all ability to fix security problems in base libraries by doing an update of that library. Instead, all applications need to be rebuilt. Performance tests should reflect real end user usage - not contrived situations that make a particular solution look better or worse. If glibc can affect performance, that should be demonstrated in the real performance results - it is part of the impact of the solution and may need an additional solution or discussion. gerrit _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
