If it only hurt performance a bit I would never have changed the code from using fork (which is what we used on all other *nix ports) into using vfork in the first place. But a 25% to 40% slowdown caused by 173 system calls in the process of compiling about 180 kloc is astronomical in my view.
It does seem unusually large, and I'd be interested in seeing what caused it. -s _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
