That is a good and pertinent observation. I did investigate a number of optimizations to the g_up/g_down scheme I eventually adopted, but found none that gained anything justifying the complexity they brought. In some cases, the optimizations used more CPU cycles than the straight g_up/g_down path, but obviously, the circumstances are vastly different with CPUs having 10 times higher clock, multiple cores and SSD disks, so a fresh look at this tradeoff is in order. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk_at_FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.Received on Mon Mar 22 2010 - 19:42:41 UTC
