I would have expected it to be essentially instantaneous. Does anyone know why this is taking so long and maybe how I could speed it up? The flush is always run during a periodic timer, you're just seeing when it fires ;-) Later, David S. Miller davem@redhat.com - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
