[off-topic] See, this is the kind of statement that makes me uneasy. You make an assertion about "the OS" (or about "the CPU" or "the architecture") as if it were generally true for any OS, or CPU, or architecture; even when it's clear that this is simply not the case. And your implementation typically presupposes these generalizations. I'm not saying that your optimizations have not been proven in general; but we really shouldn't design our code based on assumptions about the hardware or "the OS", and certainly shouldn't use them as arguments in this particular discussion. -- Brane -- Branko Čibej | Director of Subversion WANdisco | Realising the impossibilities of Big Data e. br...@wandisco.com
