The point I was making was that since it currently does not make heavy use of multithreading, any theoretical problems with fork() or the posix_spawn() interfaces caused by MT behavior can't be related to any performance problems currently seen. What's needed is a detailed analysis of the overall problem, and not a leap to a solution. But if you want to leap anyway, then I agree with Bart: the magic of the proposed new syscall needs to be demonstrated with real code, not just guessed about. _______________________________________________ on-discuss mailing list on-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/on-discuss
