That said, it would be trivial to write a patch to change PIPE_BUF to 10240 on Solaris. I don't believe that Oracle ships a machine with less than 1g of RAM today. That gets you out of the 'ulimit -p' business, and if I understand correctly, it's a handy performance win too. (I would be interested in seeing your benchmark numbers on this, though). -j _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
