The very simple module jit does read the string by using different delays like busy looping,schedule() calling etc when a command is given like dd if=/proc/litbusy bs=1 then it reads 1 by 1 characters and read once in a second but if given command cat /proc/jitbusy suddenly makes fast loop dumping on the screen the strings of 1 memory page long can anybody explains this behaviour?? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
