[please try to avoid crossposting between hackers and other lists] According to Jeffrey Barber: > Ok, I just installed FreeBSD 2.1 and boy this is slow, Example: [FreeBSD 2.1.0] > PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes > 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.356 ms > 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.342 ms > 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.362 ms > 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.349 ms [Linux] > PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes > 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.1 ms > 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.9 ms > 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.9 ms > 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1.0 ms What am I missing ? From the numbers you gave us, the FreeBSD machine is 3 times *faster* than the Linux one for localhost ??? Anyway, localhost doesn't use ethernet at all. It is all handled into the kernel, packets from/to 127.0.0.1 don't go over the wire... -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #21: Sun Sep 8 14:35:00 MET DST 1996
