When I was breaking in an 8 core factory Intel box I saw same things you saw. I then installed on it's redundant backup Ubunutu. Same problems. Double the memory, FreeBSD way much happier, and Ubunutu happier as well. Actually right now I am running FreeBSD AMD64-64, and Ubunutu AMD64 7.04 on the other since they are in semi-production. Acutally we're running a vmplayer image of Freebsd 6.2 i386 as a guest on the Ubuntu box as well. Unless you have more than 4 gigs of memory, 64bit addressing is extra overhead, so pulling memory just slows things down more. So don't run more than 3 Gig if you want to run in 32 bit addressing mode. don't run less than 5 Gig if you want to run in 64 bit addressing mode.Received on Mon Oct 01 2007 - 11:16:39 UTC
