I get non-zero values from time to time; in particular, I fired up an xterm & did a "while (1)" loop in it, and the CPU times increased in a gratifying manner. :-} However, the usual values I'm seeing are rather lower than I would expect, and lower than the same machine running -STABLE (within the last several days, by my recollection). As a reality check, I'm trying "vmstat 5", and it's consistently reporting either 99 or 100% idle. There -- I got both it & top to report something noticeable: I fired up netscape.... Maybe it really *is* using CPU much more efficiently...? No, I didn't think so, but it was a nice thought.... :-) Oh: recent CVSup history (I hadn't noticed the behavior in the -CURRENNT I built yesterday): CVSup started at Sun Mar 25 23:47:00 PST 2001 CVSup ended at Sun Mar 25 23:52:25 PST 2001 CVSup started at Mon Mar 26 23:47:00 PST 2001 CVSup ended at Mon Mar 26 23:53:39 PST 2001 Cheers, david -- David H.
