I have a strange situation on a VMWare 5-hosted machine:
# vmstat -i
interrupt total rate
irq1: atkbd0 74 0
irq6: fdc0 11 0
irq15: ata1 17 0
irq18: em0 42122 1
cpu0:timer 2246291 54
irq256: mpt0 141402 3
cpu1:timer 280800 6
Total 2710717 65
The cpu0 timer interrupt rate is 54 Hz and cpu1 rate is 6 Hz. The same
is visible when monitoring the system in real time with "systat -vm".
This is a default FreeBSD 9 RC3 amd64 system, HZ is the default 100.
Unless the tickless kernel project has advanced more than I think, this
looks like a problem... so I looked elsewhere and it turns out I cannot
get more than about 55 interrupts/s with the disk controller either.
Any ideas? I have another host running VMware 5 but only an 8-stable
machine in it, which works fine. Does anyone else run 9.x on VMware 5?
The host is a Xeon X3360 CPU (4 cores, no HTT, 2.8 GHz).
