Hi Febian. Great news, querying the proc contents works insanely well (about 90% better): proc 0.0031 seconds netstat 0.0328 seconds sockstat 0.0282 seconds lsof 0.0537 seconds ss 0.1127 seconds I've also added (and tested) utilities that can be used as replacements for ps queries, though arm isn't configured to use them just yet. Tarballs with this improvement are available at: http://www.atagar.com/transfer/tmp/arm_bsdTest5.tar.bz2 http://www.atagar.com/transfer/tmp/arm_bsdTest5.tar.bz2.asc The only bad news is that this is a highly system dependent enhancement, so this only works on Linux. Porting this to bsd or osx would be difficult, if it's possible at all. Here's the util that's providing the lookups: https://svn.torproject.org/svn/arm/trunk/src/util/procTools.py Cheers! -Damian PS. I'm gonna need to send a thank-you note to the psutil developers. Viva la foss libraries!
