I am sorry. I cannot think that way. :-) Instead of attempts to scare, better resend original report, where you said how much performance degraded, I cannot find it. * I do see get_offset_pmtmr() in top lines of profile. That's scary enough. * I do not undestand what the hell dhcp needs timestamps for. * I do not listen any suggestions to screw up tcpdump with a sysctl. Kernel already implements much better thing then a sysctl. Do not want timestamps? Fix tcpdump, add an options, submit the patch to tcpdump maintainers. Not a big deal.
