In 3.2 kern.quantum is set to be teh frequency of how often the kernel re-evaluates the scheduling. Defualt is 10 (10 times per second). changing it to 50 (sysctl -w kern.quantum=50) would make it re-evaluate this more often. in -current and post 3.2 (as of a few minutes ago) it is measured as uSeconds thus the default is 100000 and the equivalent new value would be 20000. (sysctl -w kern.quantum=20000) There were various reasons for the change and hopefully few people had used the (new) kern.quantum feature so the changeover will hopefully impact few people. julian > > > Stefan > > -- > Stefan Bethke > Muehlendamm 12 Phone: +49-40-256848, +49-177-3504009 > D-22087 Hamburg <stefan.bethke@hanse.de> > Hamburg, Germany <stb@freebsd.org> > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
