I find that even running gkrellm makes the ticking worse. if i close gkrellm, it reduces the ticks/sound stretches. that sysctl was just an easy way to make the problem _really_ stand out it seems. iirc when i was using 5.2.1 i found that just disabling the proc chart in gkrellm seemed to help a lot. haven't bothered to try it now. - ryanReceived on Sun Sep 26 2004 - 09:46:08 UTC
