It's a P4 System with HT enabled (Kernel is compiled with SMP). Without the patch, the system is continuously accessing the Harddisk. The Datarate is about 6MB/s - i don't know what's going on there. There's enough RAM marked as free (about 460MB), though no reason for swapping. I don't see this behaviour if the Code is linked against -pthread. If i apply the patch to libkse, then the process linked against -lkse behaves like one against -pthread. Without the patch, i've also the fatal error messages as stated by Mark Kirkwood, with the patch they are gone. Looks good to me! MichaelReceived on Mon Feb 04 2008 - 14:01:24 UTC
