Yeah right. No wonder I see people adding all sorts of adjective to the systemd proponent. I don't usually go hunting for sources and I only had Linus's comment about kdbus and performance. So I went to look for pottering's own word and here is a verbatime quote from the abstract of his presentation on kdbus D-Bus is a powerful design. However, being mostly a userspace solution its latency and throughput are not ideal. A full transaction consisting of method call and method reply requires 10 (!) copy operations for the messages passed. It is only useful for transfer of control messages, and not capable of streaming larger amounts of data.
So yeah he tried to sell performance as the big thing for his version of dbus IPC. I'm guessing he (and group) spent more time with dbus than linus and failed to find the actual cause of the performance issue or tried to hide it give more credence to kdbus. In both cases it makes it that much harder to trust their reasoning and conclusions.I never said kdbus is ONLY about performance. But from what I'm reading they are not performance people but they think they are. The most dangerous people are those who don't know their own limitation or weakness. And your comment simply emphasise the practice of listening whats being said. So yeah given that I don't know dbus or ipc I have to trust your logic and you only make it hard to do so. |
