Hi, In addition to reported earlier general machine slowdown with interrupt harvesting is turning on, ethernet entropy harvesting seriously hammers network performance as well. Ftping big file over my 10M network now about 15% slower with ethernet harvesting turning on. Mark, please get slow machine (say 100MHz or slower) and test you fu^H^Hboring harvester on it before committing anything. The whole devrandom affair gone too far and shown exactly how things should not be developed in FreeBSD. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
