It's weird, I have the same CPU (overclock to 3.00GHz) and have no |
| 13 |
lags like that at all when compiling with portage_niceness of 19, it's |
| 14 |
totally transparent... in my kernel config i have it set to CFQ i/o |
| 15 |
scheduler, tickless system, preemptable kernel, SLAB... i don't know |
| 16 |
what else might cause it other than driver/hardware difference. I'm |
| 17 |
using an Nvidia chipset with sata_nv driver and SATA disks. I'm also |
| 18 |
using /dev/shm for the portage_tmpdir to reduce disk activity. |
