sorry this is not Debian question, but could you kindly explain "heavy lock contention", and especially the "heavy" in it?
The standard piped streams, while safe and reliable, leave much to be desired in terms of their performance. Several factors contribute to this performance problem: Array-based operations simply call through to an inefficient byte-by-byte copy operation. This operation is itself synchronized, resulting in extremely heavy lock contention. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
