Hi, At the almost idle Dual Core machine which runs slapd, I run:
nice sh -c 'while true; do true; done' & nice sh -c 'while true; do true; done' & (i.e. I'm running this twice). Then each of the two CPUs always has some job to do, so both CPUs have 100% usage, but this is "nice". Then, slapd takes too long to respond to queries. It may take 10 or 20 seconds. If I kill or stop one of the two dummy processes, it replies instantly. If I continue both dummy processes, it's back to 10 or 20 seconds. Needless to say all machine resources seem ok; low disk usage, lots of spare memory; and slapd is not niced. If it's not something immediately obvious, could you help me debug it? I've run slapd with various "-d" options but it gives me results that I have trouble understanding. The OS is Debian 3.1 (Sarge), with a 2.6.12 SMP Linux kernel. -- Antonis Christofides +30-2107722840 (work) +30-2106521785 (home) +30-6979924665 (mobile)
