I did some more work on this. Here is some additional info: 1) The ntpdate suggestion doesn't seem to work. (By the way, the ntpd man page says that it's equivalent to running ntpd with the "-q" option). The reason is that in my case the problem doesn't occur just at start up. The calls to gettimeofday go on all the time. I even killed the ntpd daemon, and the calls still went on. 2) I checked on another system which runs the same application, but under 9.2. It turns out that the application issues the same calls to gettimeofday, also on a continuous basis, and, furthermore the numbers of calls on the two systems over a period of 15 seconds are almost the same. So there must be some other difference between 9.2 and 10.0 that causes the slowdown. On 02/21/2014 18:50, Kostas Oikonomou wrote:
