Okay, this may be a silly question, since 7.9 (which I've been using since day one) I still don't quite understand the advantages of hw.blockcpu.
In announcements: "Various kernel improvements: Introduced a mechanism to manage CPU cores with different speeds in the scheduler. The sysctl(8) variable "hw.blockcpu" takes a sequence of 4 letters: S (for SMT), P (regular performance CPU), E (efficient CPU, generally 80% to 50% as fast), and L (lethargic CPU) which are even slower. Set this to select CPUs to kick out of the scheduler (SL by default). Currently works on amd64 and arm64." Actually I'm running hw.blockcpu=E, and I see 4 cpus, in "L" I see 12...So, as I said, I still don't quite understand the logic about it, can someone be so kind to explain that for me? In "E" conf, my laptop runs smoothly, VMD and all, in "L" the same... :( Thanks in advance -- Ronny Machado C.
