I read on some locations (Fedora FAQ...) that there is an overall performance impact of about 7% when running with SELinux. Does anyone know if this impact is dependent upon the number of types the policy has? I would assume no: A lot of types only take up memory and caching should prevent any impact on the runtime performance. But if there was a performance problem with a lot of types, at what number n would it start to hit hard? And how does it increase (linear, quadratic...)? And would it be better performance-wise to run a MCS-policy with say categories c0.cn than to have types c0_t, ... cn_t? Ole
