Paul, Jonathan, Johanson (is that your first name?),a big thanks to all of you: Your answers were more detailed than what I was hoping for, they were really helpful and contained some interesting detail.
I was aware of some of the aspects (like memory and cache locality), but I was not sure about locality aspects of the IO bridge.
Again, thanks for clearing this up! Nils _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
