Are there any improvements in the Solaris 10 pipeline for how
compression is implemented?
I changed my USB-based backup pool to use gzip compression (with
default level 6) rather than the lzjb compression which was used
before. When lzjb compression was used, it would case the X11 session
to become jerky and unresponsive while data was copied to the backup
pool. With gzip compression, the system just "goes away" for as long
as eight seconds at a time. It goes away for so long that the
Perfmeter tool pops up a window saying that it can't contact
localhost.
I have done some simple testing to verify that the issue is not
specific to the X11 server since this little test loop shows the (up
to) 8 second delays in execution:
while true
do
date
sleep 1
done > times.txt
Does current OpenSolaris do better in this area?
