I read Sturla as saying there were 99,939 switches out of a possible 100,000, with sys.checkinterval set to 100. Oops, you're right. But depending on the elapsed time (again :-)), it may be too high, because too many switches per second will add a lot of overhead and decrease performance. Regards Antoine.
