Thanks for the fix! However, the problem is still here for me (using rev. 
1.58). I just noticed it when compiling Mozilla. I can also still see it when 
logging out of GNOME.

Is it somewhat better?  I specifically fixed the problem for Giant but
other locks could have the same issues.  I suspect that they are far less
frequently held without Giant, but I could be wrong.

Now that I looked at it better, yes, it does indeed seem better :). It still 
seems to happen at the same places, but the jerkiness is less... jerky. the 
position of the mouse pointer is updated more often than used to be the case.

Thanks.  This feedback is very important for me to resolve this issues.  I
think I know how to solve the issue now, I'm going to make the required
changes soon.  I'll send a status update again when I do.

Cheers,
Jeff

ULE status; interactivity fixed? nice uninvestigated, HTT broken

2003-10-12 Thread Jeff Roberson
I commited a fix that would have caused all of the jerky behaviors under
some load.  I was not able to reproduce this problem with kde running
afterwards.

I'm going to look into the reports of some problems with nice, although I
suspect that they could have been caused by the same issues.

HTT is awaiting some jhb fixes which are awaiting some UMA fixes.  I'll
give an update on that later.

Cheers,
Jeff

It think it seems better (hard to be sure) but the issue is still there 
for me.

Single Processor Athlon Tbird

AGP Radeon 9000 (using drm)

After updating to revision 1.58 of src/sys/kern/sched_ule.c and giving
my system a good run for a few hours, things seem much better. There is
still lag, but it is only occasional and rarely as severe as before.

Windowmaker, TBird 1200, IDE disk, PS/2 mouse, NVIDIA driver. Probably
not as taxing as Wade's GNOME setup.
