Hi Robert, I found this: http://www.brendangregg.com/usemethod.html
The comparison systems were identical. The esx vm was limited to 4 cpus while the smartos had 56 (bare metal). Both were allocated 2GB of memory. From a casual glance, everything appears to be fine. CPU, memory, diskio, iostat, etc. It's just slow. Maybe the common thread is bash? It appears that phoronix execs through bash to thrash on apache? We'll keep digging... -al On Thu, May 25, 2017 at 03:28:11PM -0700, Robert Mustacchi wrote: > On 5/25/17 15:23 , apg wrote: > > Has anyone ran the Phoronix Test Suite on smartos?
