The stat occurs whenever the menu is opened. Plus side, we don't waste time updating the menu until it actually needs to be displayed. This is good because if the menu is changed several times in a short period (say, lots of packages being installed which automatically update the menu) we only re-read the menu once. Bad side, we stat() each time the menu is opened. For most of us the stat() is no big deal. If you want to control the stat() call, look at blackbox.cc in the method checkMenu(). Perhaps a counter and an if statement so you only stat every 5, 10th or whatever call. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
