Running a Gentoo Linux at a 4-core CPU (i5) I realize, that compiling packages using -j4 usually needs twice as long, if I run 4 BOINC processes in the back ground (nice -n 19) too. Even considering effects of invalidation of cache data this seems a too big impact in my eyes.
It looks for me like that the BOINC processes scales down the frequency, when they are running. This behaviour however would be wrong IMO. The frequency should be scaled just by the non-niced foreground processes, right ? -- MfG/Sincerely Toralf Förster pgp finger print: 7B1A 07F4 EC82 0F90 D4C2 8936 872A E508 7DB6 9DA3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
