I've made HZ=100000 and ran few very simple tests (icmp, udp) thrue gbe interface (3C985B-SX and GA620) against same system with HZ=100. To transmit - no big difference. For recieve side "overclocked" system bet regular in times. In my case wasn't big difference to bing localhost and overclocked system thrue bge nic! Systat shows empty mbufs all the time. I want to run some better perfomance tests for tcp tomorrow.
Igor. p.s. guys, x-windows moves so smoothly on overclocked box ... :-) -----Original Message----- From: Giorgos Keramidas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 4:36 PM To: Storms of Perfection Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Clock Granularity (kernel option HZ) I've been running for quite some time a 5.0-CURRENT box with HZ=1000 set to it's kernel configuration. Apart from a faster blinking rate of the syscons cursor, I haven't seen much difference. This is my own personal workstation though, and it's almost never loaded too much :-/ - Giorgos On 2002-01-31 14:22, Storms of Perfection wrote: To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
