Hi, The problem is with an 8 processor system. If a process is not threaded and starts using 100% cpu time of a single processor, the system still shows over 80% idle. Whereas this single process works really slow if the system is already at the slowest speed. Is there a simple way to fix this problem? It is not so big problem but sometimes it is quite annoying :) Also I am currently using acpi_ppc (http://www.spa.is.uec.ac.jp/~nfukuda/software/) for adaptive CPU speeds on some machines. It gives performance statistics like: hw.acpi.cpu.px_supported: 2200 1800 800 hw.acpi.cpu.px_usage: 3.33% 3.33% 93.33% Is it possible for powerd to create similar sysctl entries? Thanks, Evren
