After recently bringing my news software up to the latest patch level (18) I noticed a dramatic loss of speed. The system profiling report says that rnews is doing about ~300 system calls per second, mostly reads. I suspect that some files are being read in non-buffered mode, a system call for every character. I've stared at inews.c and ifuncs.c but haven't found any obvious problems. Has anyone else encountered and/or fixed this problem? -- John A. Limpert I'm the NRA! Internet: johnl@n3dmc.UU.NET UUCP: uunet!n3dmc!johnl
