I'm sure that I/O and pmap subsystem contention (because of buildworld) and TLB shootdown overhead (because of 32 CPUs) will be so overwhelming that you are not really going to benchmark the scheduler activity at all. However I still don't get what you want to verify exactly? Thanks, Attilio -- Peace can only be achieved by understanding - A.
