Well, I've done what I can but I'm really no expert on this stuff. That's why I wrote to this list, which seems to be populated by _many_ very knowledgeable people. > Can I however suggest that you first try and eliminate CPU frequency > scaling as a cause of the symptoms you're seeing: use cpufreq-set -g to > select a policy that results in a constant CPU frequency and then check > if this changes the behaviour (or renders it more predictable). I installed the cpufreq-utils package. The result of `cpufreq-info' is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cpufreq-info cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006 Report errors and bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED], please. analyzing CPU 0: no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU analyzing CPU 1: no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU analyzing CPU 2: no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU analyzing CPU 3: no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU Also /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{0,1,2,3}/cpufreq/ does not exist on this system. I don't know much about cpufreq adjustments. Should I be looking elsewhere? Note that this is a desktop workstation. Will the cpufreq (actually there are four CPUs in two dual-core units) change on such a machine? If you or others wouldn't mind reading my whole original post (it's not _that_ long :-) maybe some other ideas might occur. Thanks. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
