Have you checked that your dir hash isn't suffering due to lack of memory
this can have a marked impact on seemingly trivial things like this as
could silly things like the RAID card being installed in a different slot.
RAID card is onboard on these things - how would I check the dir hash ? The
slower server has 16 gig of RAM, the faster one has 4 gig. Both were
installed the same way in the same order, so should have the same disc layout
more or less.
dirhash is a cache of directories that store many files. FreeBSD has
unreasonably small default for the maximum size of this cache.
See sysctl -a | grep dirhash and tune up vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem if
vfs.ufs.dirhash_mem is near to the limit.
Also could you please provide `top` and `systat -vm 1` output on dual-
and quad-core systems during your tests?
With best regards,
Alexey Popov
