I could do it only if there was an effective reason to do it. And there isn't. They have just posted me a message with pipe latency under kernel 2.4. And it is exactly the same (apart some minor variations in misurements that are natural enough). > You have just started your work - are you going to finish it? Or it > was just-another-academical-study? I consider my work finished. I studied an efficient IPC mechanism and I tried to implement it on an existing Operating System. I tried some other IPC primitives in benchmark tests and reported the comparisons between completion times.
