I've certainly heard it's true of Linux. But with BSD you have the "kernel funnel" which can severely limit multitasking, regardless of whether threads or processes were used. Apple has been working toward finer-grained locking precisely because that was a serious bottleneck which limited OS X server performance. Or have I misunderstood and this was only the design of one particular flavor of BSD, not BSDen in general? -- Scott Ribe scott_ribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.killerbytes.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
