Sorry for the late response. Can anyone explain why that overhead happen in Mach?
The large overhead is mostly related to how the Hurd uses Mach. Running a single-user server system gets you quite decent performance, but we have a multi-sever design, where the number of context switches, and IPC overhead is becomes far larger. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
