Dictionary AVL tree builder, running on 2Gb of ascii text for 9 days, no sign of finishing. Copied src (unchanged save for includes) to FreeBSD running on the same box, compiled it and kicked it off. Twelve minutes later I had my result. Double checked it with a smaller dataset. No echo 'pri xx' > /proc/yy/ctl or anything of that kind. Without wishing to be offensive, does anyone know why Plan 9 appears to be so slow? I love the OS, but it doesn't do my work on time. =) --upas-shiroctbhyigvknrzmamxonmdq--
