Howdy, I'd like to bump my HZ up to 1024 on my ultra 5 in order to smooth out dummynet. I seem to recall that at least one non-Intel platform (Alpha, I believe) uses a higher HZ value by default ... which lead me to wonder if changing it on the sparc64 platform is a safe thing to do :-) I'm using -CURRENT (uname -a is 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #1: Fri Jun 20 16:20:42 CST 2003) on an Ultra 5, with an onboard hme and a 4-port hme card. Any information on HZ values, especially with how they relate to dummynet, is greatly appreciated. - Tillman -- "I'd put a little Loctite on those handlebar fixing bolts if I were you." Translation: The bolt can be unscrewed with a thumb and forefinger, which means the handlebar is likely to fall off, and you will die in the resulting crash. -Geoff Drake, Rider magazine guest editorial
