It means 1000Hz of hardclock (hz) events mixed with 127Hz of statclock (stathz) events. HPET timer here works in one-shot mode handling it. > So, what else did you do to reduce interrupts so much? > > Ah, I think I see it now. My desktop has only C1 enabled.

In C1 state there is no way to handle lost events on wake up. While it may be not very dangerous, it is not very good. -- Alexander Motin _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
