Nicolas, I know that posix_spawn exists now in Solaris. But I measured that it has no benefit over the traditional vfork and exec sequence of calls, but the authors of posix_spawn designed it to be an improvement if *implemented* in the kernel. The lack of performance difference between posix_spawn and vfork,exec and the *very* bad performance of vfork,exec on Solaris - compared to Linux on the same hardware, where 2.6.25.20-0.5-default can spawn utilities al most 70% faster than Opensolaris B134 - has lead to my request to find some one to try and improve the situation.
What does DTrace tell you about where the time is being spent? Instead of asserting where the problem is in email, how about doing some investigation? - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance bart.smaald...@oracle.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird." _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
