FYI, named pipes are not "surprisingly slow" on OS X after all. Turns out that I had so completely saturated CPU & cache in my performance testing that adding a little bit of IPC pushed things over the edge... (I was running with some cores turned off in order to roughly simulate lower-end Macs.)
So that wasn't the problem, so I don't really need to share descriptors between processes, nor use domain sockets, nor go off into the weeds experimenting with mach ports or shared memory. But interesting discussion anyway ;-) -- Scott Ribe [email protected] http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
