I'm not sure what you're asking here -- do you mean that if you put some comments in code B, it takes much less time than if you don't put comments? If so, then the comments have nothing to do with the execution run-time -- something else is going on that is causing the delay. Some questions: - how long does it take to execute code B -- microseconds, or seconds, or ...? - how many processes are involved? - what are you doing in code B; is it communication intensive and/or do you synchronize with other processes? - are you doing your timings on otherwise-empty machines? -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
