Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG A load tester that we use (its an IOCTL interface that I'm currently using to fill HSSI lines) runs a magnitude slower on 3.1 than it did on 2.2.7. A simple APP that passes packets to a driver maxed out at about 28000pps on a 2.2.7 machine (200mhz Pentium). The exact machine upgraded to 3.1-RELEASE can only do about 16000pps. Any ideas, or is the OS just getting really fat?
