// This reduces the effect an idprio seti background task has on the rest of
// the system.
Yeah... I was going to ask just this. My users complained about
server response after starting setiathome.
// sysctl -w kern.quantum=20000
Humm, my systems are configured with a value with 10:
krakatoa::root [650] sysctl kern | grep quantum
kern.quantum: 10
This both in 3.1-stable (Early May) and 2.2.8-stable (latest).
Are you talking about a 4.0-current setup ?
// The default is 100,000 ( 100ms ) which, for a modern cpu, is
// much more chunky then it needs to be. Reducing it to 20ms
// makes a big difference. At 100000 I can feel the slow response
// with seti running in the background. At 20000 it is much less
// pronounced.
What are the drawbacks of this ? More CPU time spent in context
switches ?
