I'm not on this list so pardon the interruption, but it seems that a change
has been made to the cygwin dll that adversely affects XEmacs.
Apparently select() now creates a thread for every socket it is selecting
on every time that select() is called. Can I point out that for
applications like XEmacs and many X applications which have select() at the
heart of their command loop this is incredibly bad performance-wise. XEmacs
in particular gets slower by about a factor of 4. Is there any way that
this can be prevented from happening?
Cc to me directly please.
