BTW: In the Informix DBMS the Software Architects decided to implement an OS independent timer thread to work arround (very costly in the late 90s) gettimeofday() calls.
I've run the code on some Solaris 10 boxes, because they were known for their slow gettimeofday() implementation S11 snv_105 Pentium 4 3GHz time ./a.out 100000 real 0m0.087s user 0m0.082s sys 0m0.004s S10 Generic_138889-03 Athlon 2,2GHz time ./a.out 100000 real 0m0.028s user 0m0.026s sys 0m0.002s ok, lets try this on an older boxes... suse70 2.2.21 libc-2.1.3-141 2xP3 800 time ./a.out 100000 real 0m0.100s user 0m0.080s sys 0m0.020s So, what are you using as a development box? _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com
