Do GSlice use the Solaris feature for memory usage levelling (an important feauture because of the fact that the SPARCCenter 2000 had striped RAM.) Important that in this case that if you hit multiple structs of the same type for example a tree-walk you should avoid hitting the same memory bank multiple times in a row. _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
