Zoran, the boxes where you're tests show unexpectedly slow ns_malloc were all Mac PowerPC boxes running OS-X, is that right? If so, then the common thread here is OS-X, no? OS-X is known to be significantly less efficient than Linux in some areas, this is probably one of them? -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/
