I am profiling a C program using Mac's Shark which shows that some of CPU time goes to "blkclr" in "mach_kernel". What does this kernel function do? I speculate it is related to memory allocation, but I am not sure. I have googled for some time, but could not find the answer, either. Does someone know this? Thanks in advance.
