Yes - the process is there but as you point out it is not a resource "hog".<BR>
I have no need for the billing functions of the op-sys, so I don't see small use processes usually.<BR>
My tools are the GUI performance monitoring kind - jnos just remains under the radar.<BR>
I do see that "top" reports down to 0.1% CPU or 1 part in 1000, I just can't load up jnos to appear there.<BR>
AND what I see is usually a transient thing - blink and it's gone...<BR>
<BR>
But don't miss my point: jnos seems a bit erratic at "presenting a response".<BR>
I can not assign the cause to the operating system - other applications do not show the same behavior.<BR>
Further - I see it to various degrees in every jnos I talk to (Dave is tougher than Joe for example).<BR>
What I have not been able to do is separate the radio effects from the computer effects.<BR>
I remember what you told me: The problem with packet radio is radio.<BR>
<BR>
Besides that: If I knew "the answer" then I'd need to change my job description?<BR>

I have noticed the group of 4 and spacing from listening to your query at my end.<BR>
I use similar syntax regularly from the LAN side.<BR>
Dave and I have been "playing" with vc and datagram for several months.<BR>
Interestingly enough - the response time regularly goes LONGER for vc per your poling report.<BR>
The datagram does require the ARC overhead, but seems quicker anyway...(usually).<BR>
We have also put each other in the ARC cache permanently and not seen much impact in timing.
