References: <200105150337.UAA19677@gull.mail.pas.earthlink.net> Sender: owner-freebsd-arch@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG : :Well I have been on the IRC in and out of mail list archives and cannot get :a good answer to this question... : :Why does gettimeofday perform so poorly on FreeBSD vs the same hardware on :Linux 2.4.2? Why should it matter? gettimeofday() is not something that is typically called in a tight loop, it would be silly to optimize it. 17uS is plenty fast enough. Systems rarely have performance problems due to syscall overhead. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
