Polldelay Option

Updated in release: 7.0.5

Solaris-only. The  (IMAP and MMP) option specifies the wait time before calling poll in milliseconds. Workaround for poll performance bug on Solaris (6438988, 6379476). Setting this to  activates a different workaround as of 7 update 4 patch 24. The alternate code tries to keep the size of the poll array relatively constant and instead uses  in the poll array for inactive descriptors. The poll array will be larger, but change size less frequently. To date this appears to noticably improve performance under stress.

The default has changed from  to    in the Messaging Server 7.0.5 release. In addition, poll is no longer used in the Messaging Server 7.0.5 release (and thus this option is ignored) unless preferpoll is set.

The default value is: -1
