my op is that it should just be on by default, and those who want should be able to switch it off (-fPIC that is). i think that despite speedtst showing what it's showing, it's an incredibly synthetic test (i mean, c'mon, 98+% of the time you'll be waiting for either the user or disk/network/other io, not the cpu), and as such, it is great for checking whether you've just improved the vm or actually made it worse, but i don't believe it to reflect real-world usage at all. -- [-] mkdir /nonexistent _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
