Cant get system to 0% idle

2008-03-16 Thread Tuc at T-B-O-H.NET
Hi,

I have 2 systems, Dual Xenon's, both bought at the same time (1
serial number away from each other). At one time both ran 5.3, and both
could get 0% idle ([EMAIL PROTECTED], 4 processes). I've upgraded one to 5.5,
and now find ever since then I can't get the system below about 19% idle.
(I've even used benchmarks/ubench). 

Short of the typical Upgrade to 7 which I can't do (And for 
those jokers out there, can't go to 6 either) Any ideas why this is
happening?

Thanks, Tuc

Because you're running FreeBSD 5?  Seriously.  SMP performance and 
FreeBSD 5.x don't belong together in the same sentence.  Even if you 
don't like that advice, it is true.
