In those days, our two shell machines were running at a constant load of 15 or more. I tried all sorts of stuff, but none of it performed significantly better then the existing scheduler. And, as cpu speeds started to increase, it became less and less of an issue. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
