486 + threads
Hi again,
I gather that the POSIX threads implementation uses pentium TSC for
accounting, instead of external timer interrupts ?
I am trying to "estimate" the system idle time (the accumulated ticks of
IDLETHREAD) on a 486 -- is that possible with the current implementation, or
am I better off using a less ancient machine ?
Thanks,
