It just seems that this shows that the implementation of ifconfig can be improved, since "ip" can do the same thing several orders of magnitude better (ie. non-quadratic system time complexity). This is the argument I started with when this thread began, so my position hasn't changed, it has in fact been well supported by your tests :-) Later, David S.
