Thanks Leo, great explanation. Will do some additional research and try out a few tests if I can find the time to setup a small load-test sort of a scenario but it does sound from your explanation that symmetric multi-processing is what we need to share the load and get double or close to double

Ranj, Sigh :(. It would have save you and us a lot of time if you'd mentioned this fact earlier: Oh also, note that this system is running inside of a Virtual Machine with 768 RAM and a 3.4GHz CPU although NO other VM is active on this VM server. When running in a VM (like VMWare), the timing

HI Mojo, thanks for that. Sounds like a hidden option. It doesn't show up when I do a tab after I type show translation on the CLI. But to respond to your comment, I thought that's what it was, as in calculated based on the current load of the system but the fact is that there is absolutely

Hi all, (2nd attempt) this is probably a weird question and something I'm not doing right but I got this bizarre thing going on here. When I boot the system with the SMP kernel and compile (*) with the smp kernel source (actually even if I don't compile, but as long as I boot into the SMP

Check the timer frequency, it might have a different setting on the two kernels. RR wrote: Hi all, (2nd attempt) this is probably a weird question and something I'm not doing right but I got this bizarre thing going on here. When I boot the system with the SMP kernel and compile (*) with

Hi Zoa, thanks for responding. Ok, now where do I find this? I'm running 2.6.9-34.0.1 kernel. I tried doing a bit of search and it seems like that the ability to change the frequency doesn't appear till 2.6.13. Am I looking at the right thing? Any hints?

Hi there, sorry I wasn't sure exactly where to start so didn't know what info to provide. Now that I know, here's the info 1) using a P4 w/HT 2) Using CentOS 4.3 with the 2.6.9-34.0.1-smp (Note, this was installed through an rpm, but the (*) and zaptel code is being compiled against the source
