: :Tim : :P.S. I wonder if demand-paging of executables is still a win for :program startup on modern systems with dynamically-linked executables? :Large reads are a lot more efficient, and it seems that dynamic :linking might cause more startup thrashing. Hmmm... Yes, they are a big win 95% of the time. Don't worry, the kernel will pre-fault pages that are already cached in memory (to a point), and the kernel will also cluster pagein operations if actual I/O becomes necessary. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon_at_backplane.com>Received on Thu Sep 04 2003 - 09:58:51 UTC
