Netwatch Performance Issues 1.0 When NETWATCH starts, it will be slightly slower than when it gets rolling, since each host involves a NAME SERVER lookup to resolve addresses. NOTE: Version 0.7 has attempted to address this by making a service process (netresolv) take care of this lookup. It appears to be much more efficient. 2.0 On slow machines, you may find it sluggish due to the linked list requirement of insertions and updating. Each host is looked up linearly within the list. (Yes... this is an issued which needs to be addressed... but not right now) 3.0 As of Version 0.8a, NETWATCH will take the time to sort for High usage hosts on 30 sec. intervals. It works fine for me but it has the potential to be a bottleneck for slower systems.
