I'd like to rid my machine of every server -side process possible. Ric if it does its job properly, it should sit there unnoticed, and actually save apps a lot of work when they want to watch files for changes. Instead of spinning in a loop polling the file, it can sleep until it gets woken up by the kernel when it gets an inotify event when the file changes. However, strace'ing gam_server shows that something is definitly amiss. It's doing a zillion poll()'s a second. I filed a bug on this earlier tonight. Dave -- http://www.codemonkey.org.uk
