Ah!

A different meaning of "lag".

I am *assuming* that when a GNU/LINUX kernel feature is added, there
is generally a bit of lag time before that feature appears in emulation.
That's what I meant.  I haven't tracked this carefully, but gathered
that there was some lag before, e.g., the GNU/LINUX clone() call was
added to our emulation layer.


Sorry for speaking vaguely.  (^&
