Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am having some system performance issues with this kernel release. I have |
| 4 |
a SMP machine (dual xeon nehalem 8 core / 16 threads) with 24gb non-ecc |
| 5 |
memory. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
On occasion (seems random so far) my system feels like a Pentium II trying |
| 8 |
to cope with Vista. For example, I was in the middle of tar'ing a semi-large |
| 9 |
file and noticed all of my apps came to a crawl. Scrolling in firefox, |
| 10 |
typing in the terminal, or trying to navigate in my file manager resulted in |
| 11 |
breif "pauses" that came in waves. On one occasion my system froze |
| 12 |
completely and I had to manually reset the machine. (that was with |
| 13 |
2.6.35-r1) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I didn't activate anything "new" in this kernel release that I don't |
| 16 |
normally activate. ie, no cpuidle driver |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Is there a proper venu for debugging such matters, or should I just wait for |
| 19 |
this kernel to go prime-time? |
| 20 |

Thanks for your time, |
