[comp.unix.questions] Sun OS 4.1.0 and 4.0.3

sumar@dist.dist.unige.it (Delfino S. Cambiaso M.) (01/24/91)

We are working on a benchmark project based on the following theory:

    a process sends two consecutive signal to another one and we calculate
    the lost signal statistic.

As we got very different results running this code on machines with Sun
OS 4.03,
in comparison with machines with Sun OS 4.10, we would like to known which are
the main differences between these releases.

What are the differences between different releases ?

Are this depending by signal interface and/or by scheduling ?

Thanks in advance and best regards
