Thanks! I will try it tomorrow.

How about the other question?

Is there  a faster way to  access to a kernel-variable?  How much time
it takes? (in order of magnitude)

May  the process  lost the  CPU  because of  opening the  file in  the
/proc (because of  IO)? How fast if I copy the  kernel-variable into a
shared memory  segment? I think  it is much more  complicated, because
I need  to keep that page  in the memory  (because I will write  to it
from the  scheduler). Huh... This  could be  a very weird  thing... Is
it possible at all? Will it be faster tan /proc access?
