Sounds like something that at the moment, most users and most applications will not use, most of the time. I won't question the usefulness of the statistics to some applications, but at the moment is it is reasonable to add this overhead for everyone, or even for all tasks? Adding a bit more work for those that want the stats won't be too bad. Thanks, Nick -- SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com |
