pool_debug and network throughput on Alix

2013-01-22 Thread Stuart Henderson
Seeing some odd behaviour on an alix firewall and wondering if
other people see the same, or it's something odd with my setup.
I'm testing by running tcpbench on two other machines, with the
traffic routed through the alix, ethernet->ethernet, not natted.

With pool_debug enabled (sysctl kern.pool_debug=1) as is default
in -current, I'm seeing a reasonably stable 63Mb/s and kern.netlivelocks
raises by around 3.5 per second.

With pool_debug *disabled* the top speed raises but it's really
unstable; tcpbench reported rates from around 1.5Mb/s up to 75Mb/s
and a much lower overall average. netlivelocks raises by ~10.5/second.

Is anyone else seeing anything like this?
