Eg, stathz is 150 and 150/128 is roughly 117% Yes, that would do it. If that is really the case, then simply adjusting stathz for the rawhide would fix that easily. > FWIW, I'd like to see all your clock patches committed. Gimme an hour or so. :) I think I'm going to redo the alpha clock stuff slightly so that platforms will actually set a platform.clockintr() for real that handles both hardclock and statclock. The default will do what the old function I modified for SMP does, and on teh 4100 we'll use the current handler, on teh 2100 we will use one that uses forward_*clock since the clock is roundrobin, etc. > Drew -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
