Hello, I was wondering if there is any mechanism to tie a process to a given processor on a SMP FreeBSD box. I have a system running snort/mysql/barnyard on a dual Xeon 3.06 GHz box w/ 1 Meg cache, and I can see from 'top' that the processes seem to skip from CPU0 through to CPU3 on a regular basis, which to me seems like it is inefficient. Someone on #FreeBSD on freenode.net suggested that there was already an API mechanism to perform this task, and that it would be a simple project to write a user-mode utility to perform this task. I'm willing to help, but I am a complete newbie to FreeBSD and I don't have a clue where to start.
