and ... you already did a trace for Thomas, for the softirq problem: http://cybertek.info/taitai/trace.txt.bz2 this trace shows really bad networking related kernel activities! gkrellm-5977 does this at timestamp 0: gkrellm-5977 0..s. 0us : cond_resched_softirq (established_get_next) 2 milliseconds later it's still in established_get_next() (!): gkrellm-5977 0..s. 2001us : cond_resched_softirq (established_get_next) and the whole thing takes ... 455 msecs: gkrellm-5977 0..s. 455443us+: cond_resched_softirq (established_get_next) i think this suggests that you have tons of open sockets. What does "netstat -ts" say on your box?
