If one runs /usr/src/tools/tools/syscall_timing/syscall_timing On a 7.2 kernel and compare it on the same machine to an 8.0 kernel you will see almost a 3x slow down in 8. Yes I have 8.0 without witness and all the debug. The thing that is most interesting is I even ran 8 on a 7.2 user space... same result. My AMD 64 1.6Gig 8 core machines (in SMP) are showing 250ns or so for getuid 1000 times on 7.2 and 880ns or so for getuid 1000 times on 8.0 I started tracking this in 7.1.. When I get some more time next week I will do some more digging.. not sure its related to this issue though R On Jun 14, 2009, at 2:14 PM, Pierre Guinoiseau wrote: > Hi again, > > I don't know if it can be of better help or not, but I made 2 other > dumps, before and after the slowdown, and without X running and > all...
