I forgot to mention that with ksh93 if the commands happen to be builtins (including the section (1) commands in libcmd) then the "run id 10 times" timings are
bash 10 real 0m12.57s user 0m4.06s sys 0m6.54s dash 10 real 0m11.13s user 0m3.16s sys 0m5.40s ksh 10 real 0m3.42s user 0m1.80s sys 0m1.42s ksh builtin id was enabled by this .paths file in the ast bin dir -- BUILTIN_LIB=cmd LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib -- _______________________________________________ ast-users mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-users
