Hello, I am having some system performance issues with this kernel release. I have a SMP machine (dual xeon nehalem 8 core / 16 threads) with 24gb non-ecc memory.
On occasion (seems random so far) my system feels like a Pentium II trying to cope with Vista. For example, I was in the middle of tar'ing a semi-large file and noticed all of my apps came to a crawl. Scrolling in firefox, typing in the terminal, or trying to navigate in my file manager resulted in breif "pauses" that came in waves. On one occasion my system froze completely and I had to manually reset the machine. (that was with 2.6.35-r1) I didn't activate anything "new" in this kernel release that I don't normally activate. ie, no cpuidle driver Is there a proper venu for debugging such matters, or should I just wait for this kernel to go prime-time? Thanks for your time, Alan
