Yes, polling a tablet device is an interesting case where it matters. If you reread my last message carefully, you'll noticed that I suggested bumping up the default HZ a bit, since the overhead appears to be well into the noise even at 500 Hz. An alternative would be to implement a high-resolution timer facility similar to the Solaris cyclics implementation. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
