[EMAIL PROTECTED] touches pretty narrow parts of the system, doesn't it? CPU-bound in userland with little kernel interaction AFAIK...perhaps not the best thing to judge real-world stability by. > Is there a similar burn-testing app that I can run on OpenBSD to test > the stability of the machines over a 12 day period? Besides maybe some memory access, does running [EMAIL PROTECTED] really show system stability any more than the following shell script shows system stability? while true; do done; I would think running an endless 'make build' loop would be a better indicator than [EMAIL PROTECTED], and thats not to say its necessarily a good indicator ...
