Right now, I have a fresh machine I just installed earlier today.
To test some of the stability, I have a perl script that allocates and deallocates memory over an over. That's it. I have the script running in parallel 3 times, to utilize both CPUs and to get a little bit of preempting in there. Here's where I'm confused: CPU0 is running at it seems 60% user and 40% system, while CPU1 is running on average 99% user, and 1% system. What is the reason for the descrepancy, and despite the descrepancy, why is the the system usage so high? Is there something I can do to find out what the system is doing? For a reference, the output from top can be seen here: http://www.dkpsystem.com/settings/www/forum/5138/top.txt Any ideas? -- http://www.dkpsystem.com
