I don't think an admin is going to sit around changing the system's clock speed on a second by second basis... The whole point of this discussion is regarding systems that scale back their cpu clock when not in use, and speed up when the system is heavily used... in your example of a 1/3rd of the clock speed, the system would magicly make the other 2/3rds of the cpu cycles available by the auto scaling daemon... If it's hard set, then the algorithm used to calculate seconds will use the new hard set speed, and not the fastest dynamic speed... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."Received on Fri Jan 27 2006 - 01:45:48 UTC
