I'm quite sure it would help a lot. You are confusing two different things: A: The number of times that doing active synchronization makes things slower than doing on-demand synchronization; B: The number of times that one particular race conditionhappen , which happens to complicate on-demand synchronization in at interesting way. Number (A) is quite large. Number (B), which is the case you asked about, is quite small. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
