I don't presently have more than 20-30 threads running at any one time. =20 -Chris ________________________________ From: David Xu [mailto:davidxu@freebsd.org] Sent: Sun 11/30/2003 6:25 PM To: Christopher M.

Degradation is I should be moving = ~5-7MB/sec (and I do if I don't try to connect to any hosts that are = down). Once I do, I see fluctuations from ~15-20KB/sec (note: KB) to = 3-5MB/sec, somewhat associated with when the connects happen. Running = libthr, I move 6-7MB/sec consistently (until everything hangs up showing = sigwait as the status in top, anyway). System scope threads turn in = numbers from 5-6MB/sec.

The hard limit is sysctl kern.threads.max_threads_per_proc, default is 150, it means system only allows 150 threads to be blocked in kernel, if you hit the limits, then performance will be degraded.
