Meanwhile, I have an intuitive understanding of older hardware and no idea about newer bottlenecks.  And I'm starting to develop an OS.  Great.  Planning is going insanely well; today I thought I could get the filesystem to 'fall out of' variable allocation.  (There was a bit more to it than that. ;)

I can't really help with your actual question, hiro, other than to say, "gotta go fast."  Compression is one thing I've never really looked into beyond RLE.


On the actual thread topic, I guess Wio is cool.  If it works as well as I think it does, I shall have to improve my opinion of Wayland.

Stray thought:  Why didn't the suckless folk ever use Xnest instead of mucking about with things which require application support?  Not that Xnest has worked 100% for years, but they could have tried to fix it.  I mentioned it to them but they were already hyped up about tabbed.
