I still don't know) I'll repeat a query I just made there here: Does anyone have any papers or references on performance benchmarking of regular vs asynch I/O under UNIX (not other OS's, it's not applicable)? Failing that, does anyone have any informal results? Anything? -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | {xylogics,uunet}!world!bzs | bzs@world.std.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD
