The parent is spot on with something others seem to have overlooked - lock contention becomes a bigger problem as you have more simultaneously running processes/threads competing for shared resources across an increasing number of cores. One of the big challenges for general purposes OSes as the number of cores scale up is coping with access to shared data structures that previously were not a problem.
I'd suspect the memory cache probably accounts for, at the very least, part of this -- after a few days of browsing, surely this would gradually grow in size?
I know you mentioned procmail, but for those using Courier IMAP's maildrop, here's what I use in my ~/.mailfilter for SpamAssassin. I've just pasted the relevant sections, but it logs all deliveries, I then filter known recipients into their own folders (not shown here), then any unknown messages are filtered through Spam Assassin. Messages with a score > 10 are sent to/dev/null, while others are delivered to a spam folder.
# Filter through SpamAssassin xfilter "/usr/local/bin/spamc"
# Handle messages marked as spam if (/^X-Spam-Flag: YES/ ) { # Store messages flagged as spam in another folder; uncomment # this during testing just in case any legit mail gets sent # to/dev/null #cc "./spam-store"
# Delete messages with a score of 10 or higher, filter all other # spam messages into a spam folder /^X-Spam-Status: yes, hits=![:digit:]+\.[:digit:]+!.*/ if ( $MATCH2 >= 10.0 ) to "/dev/null" else to $SPAM }
You should check out the battery life on any of the recent Centrino/Pentium M-based laptops. My Toshiba Tecra S1 gets 4 1/2 hours on a full charge... I've got the second battery for the SelectBay that gives me a total of just over 7 1/2 hours. The girlfriend's Tecra M2 is around the 3hrs 45 mins mark.
The P4-based laptops are the shockers in terms of battery life. A friend's Compaq P4M only manages 2hrs 45 mins on a single charge.
That said, the Powerbook's are really slick too. I'm eyeing one off for my next computer purchase...
Oh come on mods, it was meant to be taking the piss out of all the "XYZ is dying" comments lately! Given that I admin a sizeable number of Netware boxen it's hardly on its way out!
After six hours playing Duke Nukem Forever earlier today, I can conclude that - while very relaxing - the sound of silence did nothing to improve my hearing...
... and after all that work making it appear as a FreeBSD box, you go and confess to all of slashdot that it's really a Win2k box...... I guess that saves everyone a bit of work?:-)
With the existing rental system there isn't much in the way of waste - DVDs get rented, brought back, and continue to circulate until they get sold off as "used" stock.
With these limited-lifespan DVD's, instead we're just going to generate a huge amount of disposable waste -- something we already have way to much of these days!

it appears that Internet Explorer has shed itself of a menubar! Any news on this?There is no XBox.
Given that it seems to be running Windows on all bar the router system, I'd imagine that fsck is a non-issue.
I guess they don't have to worry too much about anyone trying to crack their WEP keys... :-)

Netware is dying...
1. Write computer game
2. Market it as a hearing enhancement
2. ???
3. Profit!!

What's this? Mozilla climbs walls now?

Time to get a new nightly build!
(Yes, I'm aware Gecko is just the rendering engine!
