IIRC the only reason is that when I was developing and testing behaviors on OSX, the system I was using seemed to run no more than 8 operations at a time, so it was a guess at an OSX compatible pool size. For all I know this actually varies between different OSX versions or even for different circumstances (I haven't seen any documentation saying what the pool size should be). I see no reason why we couldn't add a user default or environment variable to make it configurable, but it might make more sense to try testing what the latest OSX version does and aim for updating to match that if necessary. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
