In my email archive I just found the letter I wrote - it was in Jan 2002 addressed to John Becker, whom, I believe, was the then editor. He wrote back that he didn't understand it (though he published it in part) - it is quite long, and I admit that I've forgotten some of what was in there.... at that time I was exploring the use of rtFFTs for examining CPU & MMgmt deadlocks in massively-threaded applications...
