Yeah, that's what I mean! Granted, this is just my workstation so I don't have
that many interrupts, but I often have a lot of network traffic, and ATA drives
generate quite a lot of interrupts during make world ;-)

You mean "even with"? If so, then I am very pleased indeed!

Sorry guys, my bad. As John and Kris reminded me, the slowdown was because of
this - should have checked again the archive, I remember it had been mentioned
before.

Do you have MUTEX_DEBUG in your kernel?

Hi John,

every "recent" version I tried resulted in a slowdown so I didn't recompile very
often; until tonight, I was still runninng a kernel from 20010214.
Tonight I created a new kernel but I finally figured out I should take out most
debugging options:

options DDB
# options   WITNESS
# options   WITNESS_DDB
# options   MUTEX_DEBUG
# options   INVARIANT_SUPPORT
# options   INVARIANTS

and now performance is very good, event with:

kern.random.sys.harvest_ethernet: 1
kern.random.sys.harvest_point_to_point: 0
kern.random.sys.harvest_interrupt: 1

Later tonight (my locale) I saw a few other commits to ithreads and such, exp.
your commit which should fix my issue with pccard (thanks a lot for that!), so
later a will update again and start building kernels adding back the debugging
options one at a time. I'll post the result.

Bye,
Andrea

Nope, UDMA33 (IBM-DARA-20600 on IBM Thinkpad).

Question: you built a world yesterday, but what world did you have BEFORE? I
mean, what matters is the kernel/world which was running while you were
compiling, was that recent (< 15 days old)? Are you seeing any lock reversal
message?

Thanks anyway, bye,
Andrea

The previous world and kernel where from that same day (I had been playing around
with user.h and kmod.mk and rebuilt to make sure everything was still okay). I did
not see any lock reversal messages.

My config is pretty standard, let me know if you want a peek (the only
"non-standard" bit is the fact that I'm running newcard, I doubt this would matter
in this case).

Best Regards,

PYD

Hmm, Feb 3-5 (looks).

You mean the preemptive scheduling committed on Feb 1?  Can you try updating
to early this week to see if it goes away?

Hmmm. Buit world yesterday evening on a 733 VAIO, UDMA ATA drive, took around
1h15mn, which is fairly much what I would expect... U using SCSI?
