By the way, an interesting thread you might read -- yes it's long. Subject "Only 70% of theoretical peak performance on FreeBSD 8/amd64, Corei7 920": http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2010-April/thread.html#56253 The performance stats you're providing are much lower than 70% peak, so I'm not sure there's a correlation, but that's a thread which did bring up odd performance-affecting changes in the i5/i7 architecture: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2010-April/056332.html It's also hard to determine from the thread given its length, but I believe pinning a process to an individual CPU increased (~20%+) the OPs performance. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2010-April/056316.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2010-April/056339.html -- | Jeremy Chadwick j...@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
