No, I tested it on my 1G box - there was a very noticeable delay running 'file' on a simple text file. Something in the file program or in the data description is causing the file program to eat cpu but I'm not really interested in spending hours tracking it down. If someone wants to work on the problem, I recommend editing the magic file to home in on the cause. I did a quick 'cut magic file in half' test and the time went from 0.09 seconds to 0.01 seconds, so I believe there is something in there that is causing the problem. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
