There's a reason why Intel and AMD changed the "TSC" to be not the same as the CPU frequency. You couldn't use TSC for anything interesting if you also wanted to change the frequency of the CPU. Solaris uses TSC everywhere so using K8 AMDs with powernow impossible. (My powernow driver makes dtrace's timestamps return wrong values) Casper _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
