I'm just curious what the context switches per second numbers are like on a busy machine like ftp.cdrom.com.. What are people seeing on heavily loaded machines (where, in this case, heavy load means tons of processes)? I'd like to plop a FreeBSD machine into an installation that sees a lot of mail, and typically has about 700-1000 processes running. On my low-load servers around the house and lab, I rarely see the Csw number go above 250-300, but I only have about 150-200 processes.. I have managed to push Csw past 1000 on my PPro at home, but artificial tests like that rarely have anything to do with the Real World(tm)! :-) TIA, -Mark -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@vmunix.com RingZero Comp. http://www.vmunix.com/mark finger mark@vmunix.com for my PGP key and GCS code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The problem is how do you build tools that understand your programs at a deeper semantic level." - James Gosling To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
