Synopsis: Bad scheduling in FreeBSD State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: sheldonh State-Changed-When: Fri Jun 25 04:27:12 PDT 1999 State-Changed-Why: Be careful when defining a compute-bound processes. You need to keep in mind that if a process sleeps or blocks during its time slice, you must expect that someone else will get the cpu -- at some point the process with the high nice value _is_ going to get a time slice. You should also keep in mind that FreeBSD (BSD UNIX in general) isn't optimized for managing two processes. Very few real-world scenarios require such optimization. It's optimized for the management of many processes. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
