Yes it is. That's why I have kern.hz=100 in my /boot/loader.conf . Have you been able to measure a performance benefit from reducing it? Have you shown that reducing it does not cause your performance to *drop*? It was increased for a reason..it actually increases performance on some workloads. Yes, I guess it increases performance on a high throughput webserver or router that uses polling. But on the Desktop it only increases the overhead without any benefits at all. 2000 interrupts per second per core for the timer is a ridiculous high number and I reduce it simply for aesthetic reasons. This may be a religious issue and everyone should use what he or she seems fitting. -- Markus ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Fan control software
Is there any software available, that can control the fans of my system, like the lm-sensors package for Linux? I can read out the fan speeds and temperatures of my motherboard with consolehm, but what I actually would like to do is to vary the fan speeds depending on the measured temperatures. -- Markus ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
