A running Firefox, that displays an ordinary News website with several animated GIFs and a couple of Flash ads, here increases the resched.interrupt count by ~100 or more per second. After a few hours of uptime, that will pile up, of course. Marko has quoted the uptime with his "top" output in the blog post. To Marko, you can run watch -d1 cat /proc/interrupts in a terminal with and without your mostly used apps running to get a better overview about how the numbers change. I wonder whether the slowness is specific to running X or only X together with a heavily used Firefox? What other tests have been performed in an attempt to find out whether the system is sluggish in general? Perhaps give "powertop" a try. It reports quite some things about devices that are in use 100% and about stuff that wakes up the cpu often. In either case, it doesn't sound normal. Certainly not with an average load so low as quoted. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
