Please shed some light on this for me. FreeBSD averages 0 POINT 349ms Linux averages 0 POINT 95ms. FreeBSD's SLOWEST was 0 POINT 362 ms Linux's FASTEST was 0 POINT 9ms. Let's round FBSD's numbers to the same number of significant digits. FBSD Linux 0.4ms 1.1ms 0.3ms 0.9ms 0.4ms 0.9ms 0.3ms 1.0ms Which one is slow? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Finger jacko@onyx.xtalwind.net or jack@xtalwind.net http://www.xtalwind.net/~jacko/pubpgp.html #include for my PGP key.
