Not only it slows down the switches, but if there is no FPU, then it would need the so-called floating-point-library. Which would slow down the code, but the kernel needs to be as fast as it can. -- Regards, Levente Kurusa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
