First, what exactly is slower: CPUs, I/O or something else? Run a CPU benchmark before/after (ubench is a simple one), and also a disk benchmark (e.g. bonnie++) before/after and compare. Do you use powerd? Did you change timecounters? This looks like a Pentium4-type Xeon, did you try toggling hyperthreading? (also in BIOS?) Does "vmstat -i" output suggest an interrupt storm? _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-smp To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
