I know Pete but I downgrad because when installing 6.0 performance was half than with 4.11. I done tests and tests but still have very low perfs. I then downdgrad to 4.11 to see if it came from hardware or software. Conclusion is that my test wich is consist of loop of mysql query done by a php script take :

            - 32 sec with 4.11 without SMP
           - 54 sec with 4.11 with SMP
           - 62 sec with 6.0 or 6.1 beta 4

That's why actually I'm with 4.11.

If you have any idea how improve perfs with 6.0 it will be a pleasure.
Hardware is new dell 1850 with bi-xeon dualcore 2.8Ghz and scsi 15.000t HDD on raid1 perc4si 256Mo controller.

Eric.

4.x, SMP and performance don't really live in the same box :-)

Sorry for time to answer, here is result in both case (with/withou SMP) with freebsd 4.11 :

kern.timecounter.method: 0
kern.timecounter.hardware: i8254


If you want I can do new installation with freebsd 6.0

Thanks,

Eric.

As I understand it, when you activate SMP a more accurate, but slower timecounter is chosen (typically 'i8254' instead of 'TSC' on intel HW).


ACPI-fast should be the default with SMP. It's significantly faster than i8254


Yeah - if his Dell has ACPI enabled. However, ACPI-fast is still slower than say TSC.

Eric, do you want to show us the output of

$ sysctl kern.timecounter

with and without SMP?

Cheers
