Small clarification: When one defines classes and start using them, they could expect CKRM to do its thing, which is to provide preferential treatment according to the shares one allocated to the classes, and they can compare the results (with the system without CKRM) only if they associate all the tasks that are created by the benchmark(s) to a class with enough resources. > There are a ton of linear searches, and I look forward to seeing them > choke. > > -- Dave > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide > Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users. > Discover which products truly live up to the hype.
