While doing some network stress-tests from a dual-CPU x86 FreeBSD 5.4 
server, I noticed that a "ping -f" drives dhcpd's CPU usage way up. I 
put dhcpd into debug mode and didn't  get any error messages. I then ran 
dhcpd with strace, and saw loads of these messages when I started the 
ping flood:

 select(8, [?], [?], [?], NULL)          = 1 ()
gettimeofday({...}, NULL)               = 0
recvfrom(4, 0xbfbfe090, 1500, 0, {...}, [?]) = 84
select(8, [?], [?], [?], NULL)          = 1 ()
gettimeofday({...}, NULL)               = 0
recvfrom(4, 0xbfbfe090, 1500, 0, {...}, [?]) = 84

Does anyone know why this would happen?
