Hi John,
every "recent" version I tried resulted in a slowdown so I didn't recompile very
often; until tonight, I was still runninng a kernel from 20010214.
Tonight I created a new kernel but I finally figured out I should take out most
debugging options:
options DDB
# options WITNESS
# options WITNESS_DDB
# options MUTEX_DEBUG
# options INVARIANT_SUPPORT
# options INVARIANTS
and now performance is very good, event with:
kern.random.sys.harvest_ethernet: 1
kern.random.sys.harvest_point_to_point: 0
kern.random.sys.harvest_interrupt: 1
Later tonight (my locale) I saw a few other commits to ithreads and such, exp.
your commit which should fix my issue with pccard (thanks a lot for that!), so
later a will update again and start building kernels adding back the debugging
options one at a time. I'll post the result.
Bye,
Andrea
