anyway i do agree, and Linus has acknowledged that,the current scheduler in the 2.6 kernel is rubbish but ingo molonars CFS is going to be included in 2.6.23. i already use it and i have seen others in this list say they do. i can vouch for it's improved performance over the default scheduler as i already use it on all my servers and desktops. my 2p Mariusz Zieliński wrote: > On Wednesday 03 of October 2007 20:17:45 Theo Macris wrote: >> -- >> [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] >> CentOS4 x86 >> CONFIG_HZ....That does not seem to be a part of my config. >> >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] boot]$ cat config-2.6.9-55.plus.c4smp|grep -i hz >> CONFIG_MACHZ_WDT=m >> >> I did come up with some "similar" stuff via freq: >> >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] boot]$ cat config-2.6.9-55.plus.c4smp|grep -i freq >> # CPU Frequency scaling >> CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y >> # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_PROC_INTF is not set >> # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set >> CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE=y >> CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y >> CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=m >> CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y >> CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=m >> # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_24_API is not set >> CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y >> # CPUFreq processor drivers >> CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=y >> # CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ_PROC_INTF is not set >> # Wireless 802.11 Frequency Hopping cards support > > Forget all crap about kernel time resolution having anything to do with > application performance.
