For this moment - indeed not much. As I have said, feature with skipping ticks is on early development stage. I've just implemented it in most straightforward way, abusing feature provided by ACPI. To benefit other systems and platforms, more tight integration with interrupt, callout and possibly scheduler subsystem will be needed. -- Alexander Motin _______________________________________________ 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"
