Hi Con, I now have 2.6.21-rc7-sd-0.45 running on my Intel Core2 T7600 2.33 machine and there is something I don't understand. For testing I have a Perl script that does some numbercrunching and runs a couple of hours. I have two scenarios a) start the job via loops in a shellscript b) start the job via a makefile (make -j 2) that I run in parallel. I watch the jobs via top and this is what I see: Job a) quickly gets about 100% (- 0-2) while job b) creates two perl jobs that both get 50% (- 0-2). I suppose it is expected behaviour that the single perl job created via a) gets same same share of the cpu as the two perl jobs created via b) together. However occasionally cpu drops to 33% for all three perl jobs while there is no other job visible in top (i.e. the sum drops from 200% to 100%). After some time this changes back to 100/50/50. How could this happen and would applying the other patch you mailed to Willy Tarreau help tracking that down ?
