It has nothing >to do with whether we support 486 systems or not. I know that. I'm simply wondering how much extra complexity we would be adding, and what kind of impact it would have on syscall times. And, if you've read the thread yourself, you'll see that the answer I recieved some time ago indicated that we didn't want to do this because it applied to the 486, it did not say 'we don't want to add this complexity for such a small performance gain on the 486'. --- Marius Bendiksen, IT-Trainee, ScanCall AS <marius@scancall.no> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
