Certainly. For heavily loaded machines, polling seems to significantly improve performance, but in my experience on lightly loaded machines it seems to increase latency on response to packets. For the particular workloads it will be used for, (serving web content and databases), the latency can be noticeable. IMHO, polling is great for lower-spec boxes or highly loaded machines, but can hinder performance when the machine is lightly loaded. I have a few machines which run with polling on, and for those usage patterns it really helps. I just don't believe this is one of those cases. GavinReceived on Wed Nov 02 2005 - 17:07:37 UTC
