Hello all, One of the machines I run EMC2 on is a Dell Optiplex GX520 using a Pent 4 CPU 3.00. Some time ago I installed the Live CD with 8.04. I made some adjustments (such as smi) and it tested at around Servo 10,500 and Base 11,000 which are fine for what I am doing. When I test 10.04 I get a Servo of 320,400 and a Base of 25,400 The Base number doubles with Hyper thread on to about 640,000. I have tried a different video card, turning smi off, in GRUB "isolcpus =1" etc.
What I am wondering is what changed between 8.04 and 10.04 that could cause this problem and does anyone have a solution? For now I have reinstalled 8.04. Today with 8.04 installed I tried running the latency test from the live CD on this machine and if I run the "CPU hog" (while true ; do echo "nothing" . dev/null ; done) in a separate terminal the numbers change to Servo 8,100 and base 25,000. This shows a 100% CPU use in the system monitor. If I reinstalled I could probably improve the Base number with video settings and smi off but the Servo number is confusing.
