shell("netstat -i") has getting slow on MacOS10.x

[Marc Siskin]

Tiemo,

I ran the command directly on my Macos 12.4 laptop and it took about 20 seconds to generate the entire listing.

Is there specific information you are looking to obtain?  You may be able to narrow the scope of the request and generate it faster.

Hello,

I am not sure where to start searching and I am not good under the hood of
Macs.

I am retrieving MAC addresses:

put "netstat -I" into myShell

put shell(myShell) into tRes

In former times that has taken "a few" seconds, now it takes around 20
seconds. First I tested, if it was a slowdown of LC 8/9, but in LC 6.7.10 it
is almost the same 20 secs. I am not sure, when the decrease actually
happened, but if it is not LC then it must be an issue of one of the latest
MacOSs.

Has anybody any idea, if I can optimize anything in the performance of this
shell request? Could it be any permission issue in the new OS? Anything I
could workaround, or do I have to take this shell call as it is?

Thanks for any ideas

Tiemo
