Hi. I am having some strange performance problems when booted under |
2 |
systemd. These problems happened a little bit under openrc, but are |
3 |
much more pronounced with systemd. |

|

I am using just virtual consoles, no gui whatsoever at the moment. I |
6 |
also use tmux with 4 windows in one of the vcs. My system is an i7 |
7 |
processor, quod core and 16g of ram and 2g of swap space which appears |
8 |
not to be used. I am using uvesafb for the console, so I get 64x160 |
9 |
screens. |

|

The first problem is that if I don't press any keystrokes for several |
12 |
minutes and then want to move to another vc, it takes about 3 or 4 |
13 |
seconds after the alt-left arrow or alt-right arrow command to take |
14 |
effect. Even within the same vt, if I don't do anything for several |
15 |
minutes, it takes several seconds till the keystroke echoes and |
16 |
something happens. Once I have done this, things act normally, but its |
17 |
kind of annoying. Also, my load average seems to always be >1. I have |
18 |
looked at top and things seem to be OK, except that my cpu usage is like |
19 |
this: |

Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: |
44 |
How do |
45 |
you spend it? |
