Can anyone explain why jailed processes seem to perform much worse than non-jailed processes in recent -CURRENT? Specifically, running a query against a remote MySQL server from inside a jail takes an order of magnitude more time than from outside the jail. Tcpdump shows that the TCP packets carrying the result are evenly spaced, so this is not a matter of the server timing out on a DNS lookup or anything like that. Running a configure script also takes much longer inside the jail than outisde, and again, progress is even (though slow), so it is clearly not a matter of DNS timing out. There is no NFS or NIS in the equation either. Parts of the file space inside the jail is a nullfs mount, but we've also tried without nullfs. The system currently uses SCHED_ULE, but we had similar trouble with SCHED_4BSD on 5.1-RELEASE before we went -CURRENT. The machine currently has ~2600 processes running in ~400 jails. Is it conceivable that be scalability issues, perhaps in the credentials code, could cause vastly increased syscall overhead for jailed processes?
