Message-ID: <1994Jul7.220203.8632@sandia.gov> Reply-To: aflundi@sandia.gov (Alan F Lundin) Organization: MDL, Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM Date: Thu, 7 Jul 1994 22:02:03 GMT Lines: 15 I loaded ispell from the FreeBSD packages-1.1 directory and was surprised to see how long it took to get started (16 sec versus about 7 sec on a Sun LX). Does this have any thing to do with excessive copy-on-write paging due to a lack of shared lib .sa. files? Are the .so. files at least organizated to minimize the number of copy-on-write pages? Why does the ld(1) man page refer to .sa. files as "silly archives" (is using .sa. files now obselete)? --alan -- Alan Lundin <aflundi@sandia.gov>
