Hi there,

Some things to try:

1. See what interrupts are most active:

(cat /proc/interrupts; sleep 10; cat /proc/interrupts) > interrupts.log

and then using the attached awk script, do the following:

awk -f dualcore.awk < interrupts.log > irq_delta.log

This will give some idea of the most active interrupts on your system.

2. Obtain a log of busy processes using top:

top -b -d 10 -n 6 > top.log

3. See overall system activity (I'm interested in the context
switches/second) using vmstat :

vmstat 1 -n 60 > vmstat.log

4. and attach all these logs to the bug report.

Thanks, Colin

some of these points at length.
