The loop it's called in is not processed bazillion times per second (though it *is* called surprisingly often; small, fast jobs can result in somewhere in the order of magnitude of 100 iterations per second on a fast CPU). As you said - I expect it's negligable compared to fork() and the work jobs themselves do. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
