After a make buildworld -j4 /kernel: calcru: negative time: -4668 usec /kernel: calcru: negative time: -8424 usec /kernel: calcru: negative time: -1238 usec Is this a big deal? Also..... calcru has a lot of nasty divides and mod's in it... How often is this called? I notice getrusage uses it, anywhere else frequently? Is the exact precision of 1000000 needed, or could a >> 20 do nearly the same thing? Or is this something that's hardly ever used? (Or, am I too used to dealing with a 68000's eternal divide times? :)) Anyone? :) Kevin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
