I've just run iperf between the soekris and other devices on the network (GbE capable), and noticed that htop seems to have issues displaying the cpu use (or maybe that its correct, and top itself is wrong? the poor performance would lead me to believe that the cpu is stuck in the kernel 99% of the time some place). With debian's 2.6.32 kernel I get HT, and no funny business with htop (it seems to act properly), but rx bandwidth is under 300Mbps, and tx is under 600Mbps. The rest of my (GbE capable devices) network is capable of over 900Mbps in both directions. With other, newer kernels, even debian's 3.2 kernel, and the 3.6 kernel I built by hand, the funny business with htop showing 100% cpu use on one of the threads shows up, and network performance drops lower, to the point I can't utilize my full 50/3 internet connection. I get stuck with around 50KiBps rather than 5MiBps. It seems as if it started out somewhat ok, but just got worse and worse as time went on. > Thanks, > -Peter Thanks -- Thomas Fjellstrom tho...@fjellstrom.ca _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
