I applied your patches and am now running the new kernel. But I only installed the new kernel and didn't do make buildworld installworld. Mu systat -vm 1 doesn't look anything like yours. I'm seeing about 2300 interrupts per second and most of those are coming from the hpet timers: 1122 hpet0:t0 1124 hpet0:t1 So, what else did you do to reduce interrupts so much? Ah, I think I see it now. My desktop has only C1 enabled. Is that it? Unfortunately, it appears that only C1 is supported :( -- Gary Jennejohn _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
