And since mmap() on 3.x has some problems (largely due to the VM system intricacy which changed a lot in 4.0) it would probably be better to use it on 4.0 systems. But Dnews and INN comparisations aren't really fair. Last time I looked at DNews it did more of a job as per leafnode(+), only fetching those groups which are read. INN is a full fledged newsserver as per Typhoon/Breeze class. -- Jeroen Ruigrok vd W/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl|freebsd.org] Documentation nutter/B-rated Coder BSD: Technical excellence at its best The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; Ain't gonna spend the rest of my Life, quietly fading away...
