2 identical machines. the same kernel binary /etc (basically) identical (/etc/passwd slightly different) the same system sources compiled and installed yet: one is 10% faster than the other CONSISTANTLY in buildworld after a reboot and 5 minutes of the EXACT same work (buildworld up to the following message:) -------------------------------------------------------------- >>> stage 2: cleaning up the object tree -------------------------------------------------------------- the slower machine shows in top: last pid: 3079; load averages: 0.01, 0.19, 0.14 up 0+00:13:02 06:13:55 24 processes: 1 running, 14 sleeping, 9 stopped CPU states: 0.4% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.4% interrupt, 99.2% idle Mem: 18M Active, 106M Inact, 27M Wired, 124K Cache, 35M Buf, 94M Free Swap: 513M Total, 513M Free while the faster machine shows: last pid: 3079; load averages: 0.00, 0.15, 0.13 up 0+00:13:25 06:15:55 24 processes: 1 running, 14 sleeping, 9 stopped CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.4% system, 0.0% interrupt, 99.6% idle Mem: 11M Active, 36M Inact, 24M Wired, 144K Cache, 35M Buf, 174M Free Swap: 513M Total, 513M Free Notice in particular the differences in Free and Inactive memory... this is completely reproducible. anyone have any thoughts? I can't think of anything that would affect the vm to this extent.. they both start out with 222 MB in the 'free' field. julian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
