- Subject: [ECOS] Random question about performance
So Redboot isn't a speed demon, I knew that, but pings to redboot take on
average 4 - 6 milliseconds. Pings to UNIX running on the same hardware take
.4 - .8 milleseconds. That is not quite 10x slower. I know Redboot is a
polled networking system but it doesn't have to context switch either.
What's up with that?
