OK. So they don't give much improvement, if any, at all. Well, at least, that would avoid a relocated call and gain a few (2-4) asm instructions. That's not worth the effort _if_ speed and perf are the only issues at hand. When it helps debugging, it should definitely be repaired. If it once was possible to compile a driver statically to help with debugging, and that is really usefull (I mean _really_usefull_), then it should be fixed (if it is relatively easy to). I personnaly don't think I would use it, but developpers should keep as much tools as possible to find bugs. Well, a bit off my shoes today, I'm just back from a sleepless night, so please forgive me for having spoken nuts if you think so... Goin' to bed anyway :-O Regards, Yann. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
