okay, i compiled the kernel, and I see all of them.
you think i should use tsc or hpet? there are opinions for both throughout
the list it seems.

Yes, already corrected myself TYVM
Duno about the mobo, but it's not a virtual. It's Q9400, 4gig ram, 64 bit
Centos 5.2

What's the motherboard? is it a virtual machine?

dont ask me, this is how it was when i found it. So if I compile my own
kernel, it should have them clocksources?

TSC should be always be available as a clocksource, unless something
is seriously wrong with your setup.
Actually, a normal kernel will panic if TSC isn't compiled into the

i just have jiffies in as an available clocksource... there a way to get
htpet and tsc?

Oops... that is supposed to be:

On any fairly recent 2.6-series kernel you can put this right on the
kernel boot commandline:
clocksource=$whatever
like
clocksource=hpet
or
clocksource=tsc
so that it is set at boot.
The echoing of available options into th
Oops, thats right.

Its not the timing that wastes the CPU time. You can't lower it with that.
90% is absolutly normal for such a big server.
