Anyways, you wouldn't >notice the slowdown. Seriously. Have you ever run Mach WITHOUT DP? >No. Why? You can't. So how can you say the slowdown isn't that ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can bring up a NeXT machine in single user mode vs. multi-user mode. In single user mode you don't load the window manager and you have a Unix box with just a plain old command line. >noticeable. Compared to what??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So you compare times for benchmarks running in a term window under DP and running in single user mode. You obviously know nothing about a NeXT except what you have read and that isn't much. >-- >- gblock@csd4.csd.uwm.edu - | IBM's brain is on overload, and Apple > Gregory Block | needs to be potty-trained.
