Actually our VT switching is incredibly fast, the X VT switching is slow and much of that is because you have to spend time waiting for PLLs to stabilize and the like not because of bad code. You wouldn't need VT switching for SAK/trusted path anyway. > Besides, my user account being compromised is 99% as bad as the root > account being compromised, IMHO. Again depends on the environment. On a home system if something is stealing your password the box is probably compromised. On a multi-user or shared system its quite likely another legitimate user who has not compromised the box is the cause.
