hello, i'm runing cygwin (1.5.25?) under win xp sp2 and i ran a simple test which was supposed to measure the speed of pthread_mutex_lock, increment, pthread_mutex_unlock compared to interlocked increment and windows critical section.
the thing is that cygwin's pthread_mutex_lock performs quite lazily - it takes about seven times more than using native critical section. i wonder why, of course :) thanks for your attention, mojmir -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
