I experienced some relief from this by switching my single-CPU system to use hyperthreading, and using an SMP kernel. On dual-core machines, it never seems to be a problem for me. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry, I've been unable to reboot the box with this problem this week (to turn off hyperthreading, which is currently masking the problem somewhat). I'll try to do this tonight or tomorrow.

Instead of going over all of the usual questions again, can you point me to a previous mail in which you explain your observations and test results in detail? The most recent is http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-stablem=119428719505129w=2, but it started way back at http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-currentm=118998090512027w=2. I've tried a lot of stuff in between, and all I've been able to narrow it down to is that it's not a display driver issue, and that none of my swap partition is getting used, so that's not the problem. During compiles, my UP system with ULE still gets very unresponsive when compiling, sometimes taking up to 10 seconds just to draw a new terminal window. Even changing focus with the window manager can take several seconds. I'd like to provide more info, but I'm not sure what stats are useful for this particular issue. Please let me know. dmesg is at http://redundancy.redundancy.org/dmesg.txt, and kernel config is at http://redundancy.redundancy.org/DEEPTHOUGHT. Even though I'm still getting reported 80-95% memory utilization and no paging, I'm going to get an extra gig of RAM on order to see if that improves things. 2G of ram for a desktop, what's the world coming to? ;) Thanks, David ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The sound skipping went away a while ago, but desktop performance is still lousy while compiling on a UP machine. Fiddling with X's rtprio can more or less fix the problem, but it's a pain to do it manually each time. If it were a scheduler issue, it would seem like the priority of make isn't getting bumped down enough and its children aren't being spawned with the appropriate lower priority - but it happens with both schedulers for me, so I don't know what's going on. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
