I have, and I wasn't particularly impressed. The guy has trouble figuring out what "LockSession(session)" could possibly mean. He criticizes the spec (from 2003) for being hard to implement and then libsystemd-bus for implementing it. He also misses the fact that d-bus performance has very little to do with the overhead of 4 bytes in the message header, but rather the latency caused by multiple context switches, user space querying /proc to gather information, repeated decodings of a message as it is passed along, and the occasional transfer of large buffers. So yeah, it's an uninformed rant with a vaguely defined target. Zbyszek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
