The application I have in mind for Darwin is high-frequency trading. I haven't heard of it being used in this scenario, all I hear is Linux.

I wonder, what OS does Apple use to run their iTunes, MobileMe, etc. services. If not Mac OSX then why?

Are you going to be doing AOGs or any kind of automated trading? That is where orders per second comes into play for this sort of thing. What you need to really worry about is not the network but transactional processing on the server itself. What people on linux are using is the RT libraries, I don't know much about those under OS X really though. --Larry _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
