recall that (1) the context switch time is not a fixed cost but depends on the memory behaviour between switches and (2) isn't it either two switches per participating client/application, or if they are chained (as in JACK), N+2 switches, where N is the number of clients/applications ? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
