We have an application that needs to write a very large number
of open files (> 4096) and have found a substantial performance
difference between open/write/close for each file and only closing
the least commonly used files when the number of open files hits
a maximum.
I have been asked to 'fix' this, my hunch is that there is no fix as
the open/write/close is just a slower way of doing things. Can
someone provide me with an explanation of the mechanisms of the
behaviour so that I can either justify the situation or fix it.
thanks
