Hi, I recompiled my system today and when it came up again, it was terrible slow. Using top I've seen, that there're around 25% cpu-time is used to handle interrupts. The kernel was configured using SMP ('cause it's a HTT enabled CPU) and APIC. Setting machdep.hlt_logical_cpus to 1 didn't change anything. Simply getting a few mails (around 30) takes about 20 minutes. Most of time while getting the mails my mozilla was in "*Giant" state, what shouldn't be good, should it? I've recompiled the kernel without SMP and APIC and now the system's behaviour is more "normal". Is the behaviour of the new interrupt code better on real multiprocessor systems?
