Actually, it was a diskless boot, so it was in the system cache. =) I know this is a rigged demo, but the point is the same, yes, it's slower, but we also have a huge gain from going to a dynamically linked world. It would also serve as encouragement to get things like pre-binding and caching working. -gordon [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+28aERu2t9DV9ZfsRAo1KAJ9v90bPH4IAwoAczvpcY9GQ63MvfwCgmtp1 Uq/Rohdl1Vl/QLjFWbpVA1o= =aM2N -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
