Toronto ON Canada References: <1990Nov9.071656.17729@helios.physics.utoronto.ca> Date: 14 Nov 90 05:34:41 GMT I have also noticed this; since we installed IRIX 3.3.1, there has been a huge increase in the amount of time it takes to access inodes. various scripts involving find take forever, and copying /deleting directory hierarchies takes almost an order of magnitude longer than it used to. This happens on all machines here, which include PIs, 4D70s, and Power Series machines. It started this week, right after we upgraded from 3.2 to 3.3.1. While I haven't run any timing tests yet, I will run your test program on our machines tomorrow when I get a chance. I just wanted to let you know that others have observed this slowdown. -- C.
