Execuse the language, but I'm reading: my tools suck so let's make the kernel suck! Let's defer this discussion until next week, when I had a chance to release my profiling tool. I think you'll then agree that it's much better to leave the code as is. In fact, we should also have an out-of-line contention handler for the read/write locks. --david
