Depends what you mean by "unstable". The symptom I would most expect would be the virtual machine seeing some variation in real-time clock rate. In your position, I would try some intermediate values for HZ, and see what happens. In particular, 1000 is the usual recommended value for faster systems, and 200 or 400 might well be okay. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
