Obviously it will have some performance impact. Whether you'll notice it is another story. I found a posts about the impact: http://blogs.sun.com/jtc/entry/overhead_in_increasing_the_solaris
but nothing would be anywhere near as informative as testing with your actual workload. I think libXt uses select(); one could imagine an alternate implementation that used event ports and a high-resolution timer. It might take a lot of testing to get right though, and high resolution timers require the user to have an additional fine-grained privilege. And since we're all supposed to turn our noses up at libXt, mutter "legacy", and move on to using GTK instead, I doubt anyone will bother trying to give XtAppAddTimeOut finer grained resolution without the need for a systemwide change. (In case you hadn't noticed, I haven't yet gotten over the move to GNOME, which I think was a loser. If one had to move to some non-Xt toolkit, I'd have preferred Qt (KDE). Not that I've _written_ anything using either, but KDE apps always seem to me to look prettier and respond just a bit faster.) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
