I already : know that Linux is very small compared to BSD, and maybe that makes it : faster. On the other hand, maybe Linux is missing some performance : tricks. Grin. Other way around. Maybe BSD is midding some performance tricks... :) BSD doesn't have shared lib's yet (as far as I know). This kinda kills program startup time. Does it do demand pageing?? On the other hand, it does have a much faster file system (which I am currently porting to linux) : Also, any other comment comparing the two would be helpful. : : -Thanks : -Randy Michael
