In the cases such as you describe where it's just some sort of empty function call, then yes, I am willing to accept a wave of the hands and a simple explanation of how it's not significant. I've done the same myself ;). What about the case where accounting is enabled, and thus actually has to do work? How does that compare with just doing the traditional BSD accounting? I presume in that case that the benchmarking is no longer irrelevant. Though if you can make a decent case that it is, I'm willing to listen. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
