Synchronous I/O is *very* slow but you need to discuss that mostly with hardware vendors if you must use it. Hard disks have very low operations/seconds and very high internal latencies you can't hide if the application demands synchronous I/O. That is why we have fsync/fdatasync and thread creation... _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
