If I recall, the mach was about 50% slower than linux, and the new L4 is about 10% slower and there is a lot of room/ideas for improvement. Also consider that replacing a kernel and will be much more easier than the the how to for kernels we face now. I for one wellcome L4. Unfortunately Gnu has missed on collectivising on the net for manpower as linux has. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
