Hi! I'm reading http://www.BSDI.COM/products/internet/40-qna.mhtml#Q5 and found the following peice of text: "Lazy SPLs - The kernel no longer masks hardware events unless a hardware event actually occurs, avoiding many expensive operations." Does anyone know what this is? Also, maybe a related question, when turning on/off interrupts using the ICU, is it still necessary to flush the "out stream" by doing an out to a unused port? === Regards, Tommy Hallgren Briljantg. 31, SE-421 49, Göteborg Tel.: 031 - 770 5232 (Work: Telia Prosoft) Tel.: 0709 - 312 404 (GSM) Tel.: 031 - 47 65 28 (Home) _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
