When I run the command `cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null' my SMP machine slows down to the point of unusable. However there is no apparent slowdown with a single processor machine. The kernels I have tried are 2.0.36, 2.2.1, 2.2.9 and 2.2.11. The machine is duall P-II, 333MHz on a Tyan 1832DL board. - Linux SMP list: FIRST see FAQ at http://www.irisa.fr/prive/mentre/smp-faq/ To Unsubscribe: send "unsubscribe linux-smp" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
