I once read some books about "subverting the windows kernel" - one can do marvelous stuff and get great performance out of it!! - only half kiddingly. - luckily I have not booted into XP for years and this "Con" might just be crap... however some instinct tells me that a UNIX - no matter how pre-emptive or tweaked - will always have more overhead than some DirectX-app. - but IMO this is irrelevant for "normal" audio apps on modern machines.. - memory management and -locking are more crucial.. robin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFwKJJeVUk8U+VK0IRAguvAKC5WkK6enqRl5YXpuqoY6hpdcjiCwCeKxSG Mqz4u/A+Eg8g/LD21Jvrlbc= =+Sl0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
