O.K., I did that, got it running on 4 CPU's only, and the problem
is still there - so it's not the number of CPU's after all. Which
is good in a way in that it is not completely defeating common sense,
but means I shall go and look elsewhere for the problem.
This sort of comparison is difficult as the disk layout can be
different from machine to machine. Perhaps if you dedicate a drive
(e.g ad8) to the test and do something like
newfs -U -O2 /dev/ad8
mount /dev/ad8 /mnt
sh /tmp/script-to-create-gig-of-files-on-mnt
shutdown -r now
mount /dev/ad8 /mnt
time rm -R /mnt/testfiles
and then repeat varying the number of CPUs,
You should be able to get a rough sense of the impact of more CPUs if
there is one.
