Changed
- Replaced the Process List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation
-- Note: this change provides an almost static system call speed of 1.2us irregardless of the running process count
-- The old list, with 100 programs running required: 4.5µs; with 200: 12µs; and with 300: 18µs per syscall
-- Note: some of the slowdown was affecting also non sandboxed applications due to how the driver handles certain callbacks - Replaced the per-process Thread List used by the driver with a much faster Hash Map implementation
- Replaced configuration section list with a hash map to improve configuration performance, and increased line limit to 100000
-- not yet enabled in production build - the presence of default box is only checked on connect
- the portable dir dialog now shows the directory #924
- when terminated boxed processes now we first try doing that by terminating the job object
