I'd say it will depend upon the situation. In this case all the data collected is being displayed in output along with some post-processing (viz. lquantize). On a CPU starved system, it may pay to store the data and process it offline (or in END action) than in realtime as system is CPU starved but may still have good amount of IO bandwidth remaining. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ dtrace-discuss mailing list [email protected]
