Only this time I used tar xzf ports.tar.gz Look at the times: # date;tar xzf ports.tar.gz;date Wed Feb 14 10:59:34 BRT 2007 Wed Feb 14 11:11:04 BRT 2007 The total number of interrupts ranged from 270 to 850, most of it being mpi0 (170 out of 271 and 747 out of 850). It always showed 100 for clock. If you feel it is important, I can send you the print screen of the moment these values were shown (off the list if you prefer). Thanks a lot in advance.
