Hi there,

time for me to use this mailing list.

I'm looking at the current implementation of haiku semaphore and I see that
during boot a few pages, it depends on the number of semaphore, is allocated
in order to store semaphore slots. I guess for performances reason.

Now I'm wondering if I should do the same for the xsi semaphore, even though
only ported application (currently none) will used it, or create them run time
when I needed? The latter would avoid waisting a few MB of probably
unneeded memory
when xsi semaphore are not used.

Regards,
