What settings in your kernel are you using? Use: No force preemptition - server, 1000Hz timer, HPET, SMP, enable HT (newer dual core xeons have HT) do not use +sys_ticrate 1 when you set 1000Hz in kernel, use just +sys_ticrate 1000 (because 1 on 1000Hz timer is speeded server

Well, everything was in order except we always had sys_ticrate 1 and pingboost 1, without the speeding problems. (and yes 1000Hz in kernel). But i changed it to sys_ticrate 1000 and i don't use pingboost now, so we have too see tomorrow if it helped or not, when the servers are full.

I would guess this just means that you need to install a glibc 2.8 package for your os (multiple versions can be present). This should be trivial if a precompiled package exists for your os and version, and somewhat more complicated if not. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
