Hello I got my E250 running with my own kernel (2.4.23-rc5-grsec), to be correct, I got it crawling for some applications:
time dpkg -l -a 2> /dev/null real 0m34.671s user 0m15.090s sys 0m19.610s I already can rule out grsecurity. But what could this be? strace'ing the above shows things like this: brk(0) = 0xde000 brk(0) = 0xde000 brk(0xdc000) = 0xdc000 brk(0) = 0xdc000 brk(0) = 0xdc000 brk(0xfe000) = 0xfe000 brk(0) = 0xfe000 brk(0x120000) = 0x120000 brk(0) = 0x120000 brk(0x142000) = 0x142000 brk(0) = 0x142000 and so on. Each of those takes about 0.3 seconds. Where could this come from? SMP? I haven't done anything like profiling before, can anyone give me some hints on tools and things to profile this?
