(Because the OS certainly supported threads, and it was certainly possible to write highly-threaded applications, and I don't know of any performance problems with threaded applications.) This has been getting progressively better, with each release adding more in-kernel concurrency. Which means that 10.5 probably obsoletes all prior postgres benchmarks on OS X. -- Scott Ribe scott_ribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.killerbytes.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
