Yes, but we have that problem now solved. Except on embedded platforms that have garbage CPU's without even a cycle counter. But those won't have spinning rust anyway. Yes, bad SSD's and MMC disks (that they do have) will generate timing noise too, but in the absense of a cycle counter, that noise won't be much use. Linus
