For 6.5.x, disabling locale results in a performance improvement in some cases. For 7.0, there will be no 'nl' RPM's, if performance with --enable-locale is near the performance without. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
I guess I'm enough of a novice that I need a little more explanation. What exactly does "no locale" mean? What are the implications of using the nl version? If it is faster, why isn't it simply the standard version used by everyone? -=michael=- -----Original Message----- From: Peter Eisentraut [mailto:e99re41@DoCS.UU.SE] Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2000 3:30 AM To: Michael S.
