Looking at lsof it seems to use fopen() and fgets() to parse various proc files. I doubt that we can make the parsing singificantly faster without completely rewriting the internals. As for procps the readproc.c has file2str() function that does copy whole proc files into a buffer with open() - read() - close(). It may be reasonably easy to hook the new systall there and it will probably make ps and top slightly faster. -- Cyril Hrubis chrubis@xxxxxxx
