The following reply was made to PR general/652; it has been noted by GNATS.
From: Dean Gaudet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Homer Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: general/652: load spikes every few minutes Date: Wed, 4 Jun 1997 11:54:52 -0700 (PDT) Hypothesis: select() under sunos 4.x wakes up all waiting children when an event happens. All the children then race down to the accept() and block in there. That'll spike momentarily. Most OSs have this behaviour actually. See <http://www.apache.org/bugdb.cgi/full/467> and give the suggestions there a try. That should achieve the same thing as your patch without requiring you to hack up the code (and also supporting multiple Listen statements, which yours doesn't). It's looking more and more plausible for us to use serialized accepts on all architectures. Dean
