Well, this seems like an awfully contrived example. But assuming for the sake of discussion that there are better examples, you seem to be suggesting that: - there are operations that take a long time on the non-B1 version of Irix but take much less time on the B1 version of the OS, - these operations are regularly and commonly used by real users, - users would complain if these operations took as long under the B1 OS as they do under the non-B1 version of the OS. Is that right? If I understood you correctly, these are a surprising combination of assertions. If you have to deal with users like this in Irix, you have my sympathies. Personally, I don't think I'd be able to keep a straight face if a user who expected Janus to speed up his favorite application by a factor of 2x came and complained to me when Janus didn't live up this expectation. I must admit, I'm still unconvinced that this concern should be given any weight in our discussions of the LSM architecture. _______________________________________________ linux-security-module mailing list linux-security-moduleat_private http://mail.wirex.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-security-module
