hello. I wonder if you've compared your BIOS settings on both machines? While the BIOS may be the same version, it's possible the settings are not identical. this is strongly suggested by the fact that one of your machines shows a serial number in its machdep.dmi output, while the oth

ACPI related performance trouble

Hello I just got two identical machines, let us call them glutamine and leucine. I run ffmpeg4 to transcode H264 video to webm, and leucine is about 12 times faster than glutamine. The hardware and software are the same, the BIOS revision are identical. The only difference dmesg tells me about be
