Hi Misi, your tests still are not in the "ideal" conditions, unless there
are reboots after the creation of each new test file. The creation of the file of course leaves a lot of buffers in memory. In my tests I used existing files I had not been using at all from boot time. . Apart from that, your program and "grep" do not really need to have in their private memory (not in the Unix buffer) more than one "little piece" of the file. Of course vim needs and uses its private memory to hold the whole file. To make things even, you should modify your program in order to read each new chunk of the file in a different piece of memory, thus having them all in memory at the same time at the end of the run. I expect the difference to be noticeable (unless the memory of the HP-UX server is gigantic). Cheers, Antonio PS Off Topic: I like more "ciao" as a throw away file name. ;-) -- /||\ | Antonio Colombo / || \ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / () \ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (___||___) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
