OK, so just to be clear I'm not a terribly clever person. I have no
idea what I should be looking for to diagnose this issue. It's
entirely possible that I have something configured stupidly/wrong,
etc or that the answer is right in front of me, but I wouldn't know.
I've done a little googling and all I came up with was:
http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2005-11/1349.html
which went completely un-answered (at least on-list).
The OP and I conversed off-list a few weeks ago and he mentioned that
the situation is still the same for him (same as I'm seeing). Summary:
- 64bit host OS (SLES 9) running on 2 dual-core Opteron 265s
- VMware Server 1.0.1 build 29996
- OpenBSD/i386 works fine
- OpenBSD/amd64 is slow as hell
- MP/UP kernel makes no difference
- one CPU or two CPUs makes no difference
I've tried 4.0-release, then a snapshot from a few weeks ago, now
running with -current GENERIC.MP kernel (as of last night). That
kernel took about 22 hours to build, BTW--that's slower than my
SPARCstation 5. Right now it's churning away on make depend for
GENERIC (UP) and it's been doing so for over 128 minutes.
Does anyone have *any* idea why compiling would be so slow on this
setup? Services respond fairly quickly (ssh, etc) but running make
or cc takes ages. Usually the load is around 1.3 or so when building
something, but on occasion it spikes to 16 or more for no apparent
reason.
I'd love to collect any relevant information that could help diagnose
the problem. What I got so far is some output from vmstat (system
has been up for about 3hrs, most of that trying to make depend for
amd64/GENERIC). I have no idea what I'm talking about, but should
syscalls be over 174 million in 3 hrs? What about over 1 million
interrupts?
