Hi All,

I was doing a test of WinXP vs. Linux and I found that there was a
SIGNIFICANT difference in render times, with WinXP running order of
magnitudes faster (approximately 5 times faster).  This seemed way out
of expected performance so I went to check on Linux and found that
yes, it was much slower when writing to disk.  I checked top and found
that there was a process "gam_server" running and competing for CPU
cycles.  Looking around it seems that gam_server is a part of gamin,
the gname file notifcation program, and that it would take about 20%
with csound taking up the other percentage.  My guess is that for
every write to disk from csound, gamin is doing a notify and slowing
down the render (I hope that is the case).

Anyone have experiences like this?
Thanks,
steven
