Hi Micheal, > 5.000503 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4 That system call only creates a UDP socket (without giving it an address or doing any lookup - it just creates a "connection endpoint" on your machine, that later has to be explicitly given a name etc. with other system calls) and should return within an instant... are you sure that _this_ is the call that takes so long? How did you check the time spent? I'd suggest using "strace -T"... Regards, Jan -- Jan C. Nordholz <jckn At gmx net>
