Doing an strace -f -ttt - it took me of the order of a second to get a cups up and quiescent on a very fast, un-loaded, warm-disk-cache, machine. the problem is not - that cups might be able to start fast on an un-loaded machine with all it's data set in memory; but that when you have fifteen processes burning only a second of (a fast) CPU at start - that is a fifteen second boot ;-) and when you have fifteen processes all wanting to read 500k of scattered data - that is a lot of seeks to process. So - anything to defer that work much appreciated: and of course, the race is still then on to make cups start as quickly as possible when xinetd starts it :-) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
