Norm - what is it on an SGI? Using SGI sproc(1), I get : dervish<root>2% ./context Performing 2000000 context switches between 2 SPROCS... 2000000 context switches took 104.920468 seconds 52.46 uS per context switch on my desktop @ home. I've been planning on rewriting this code to use pthreads, which should give a better result. If you're interested, I'll let you know when I do. Between processes, I get : dervish<root>4% ./context -p Performing 2000000 context switches between 2 PROCESSES... 2000000 context switches took 101.916830 seconds 50.96 uS per context switch As an aside, see isdmag.com Maybe I should run the process switch bench on Linux and NT as well - it's POSIX, so NT should do it? -justinb
