           Summary: CD Ripping speeds slow with 2.6.17
    Kernel Version: 2.6.17
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
             Owner: [email protected]
         Submitter: [email protected]


Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.16
Distribution: Gentoo
Hardware Environment: ASUS K8V mobo, AMD64 2200, 1GB RAM
Software Environment: Gentoo
Problem Description: Ever since 2.6.17 my cd ripping speeds with one particular
CD ripper/encoder (namely the one I wrote) have been slow.
Using git bisect I tracked it down to this patch..

    [PATCH] sched: remove sleep_avg multiplier

    Remove the sleep_avg multiplier.  This multiplier was necessary back when
    we had 10 seconds of dynamic range in sleep_avg, but now that we only have
    one second, it causes that one second to be compressed down to 100ms in
    some cases.  This is particularly noticeable when compiling a kernel in a
    slow NFS mount, and I believe it to be a very likely candidate for other
    recently reported network related interactivity problems.

    In testing, I can detect no negative impact of this removal.

I'm honestly not sure if my application is doing something it shouldn't or if
this is a legitimate kernel bug. Being totally at a loss I'm filing it here.I
just know that before the above patch I was ripping at about speeds of 9.0x and
now I rip at 1.2x.


sched problems...

Martin, this might be the source of your `dvdrip' woes?


Nope, was an older kernel than that, and oddly doesn't always seem to happen. I'll try to get that box upgraded, and try to reproduce it
again.
