Hello,
I have been doing some (very rudimentary) testing on network performance
on OpenBSD guests running in a KVM Virtual Machine
I was wondering does the sysctl readonly value hw.cpuspeed used as input
for any drivers in OpenBSD,
the reason Im asking is that the reported speed of the CPU MHz is very low
hw.cpuspeed=96
where in actual fact the CPU is running at 1100-2200 MHz
I have run ubench and sysbench and the cpu performance seems within
80% of the perfomance of Native Hardware.. .so I dont think it is
affecting the CPU
but im concerned (but dont know) wheather or not it could affect I/O
and networking.
I have included the dmesg, output and pci information below
dmesg
