Seems to use an excessive amount of kernel cpu time (80 - 90%). Did you already had a look at a kernel profile to find out who is consuming all that cpu cycles in the kernel? lockstat -kIW -D 20 dd if=/dev/rdsk/c8t0d0s0 of=/dev/null bs=65536 count=16384 -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
