So what about other sysctls? Is it just these sysctls? It may be the case that these values are not simply read from some variable in the kernel, but really performs some hardware calls. Still, 436 msec is quite a lot of time.
===================
getting the same info on a linux box from /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/* takes <10ms, even when reading all 32 files in the directory.
meanwhile, on freebsd, the other hw.acpi.* variables i've tried are either reasonably fast (2-7 mS) or as slow, but no slower. at least not the handful that i've tried.
hw.acpi.battery.* are the ones i'm actually interested in. -- ...atom ________________________ http://atom.smasher.org/ 762A 3B98 A3C3 96C9 C6B7 582A B88D 52E4 D9F5 7808 ------------------------------------------------- "About all you can do in life is be who you are.
