This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig58A2BE307BE3420FD821C800 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I wrote about how FreeBSD 6.1 RC1, with latest RELENG_6 kernel, prints lo= ads of "calcru: runtime went backwards..." and "calcru: negative runtime..." messages when the FreeBSD runs as virtual server under Microsoft Virtual Server 2006 R2. When I wrote this I was compiling and installing lots of packages, setting up the OS. Now that it is idle I have noticed one quite= bad thing. Any process that sleeps on timer or sleep() call will wake up much= later than it should. For example, when I start top there should be two seconds delay between updates of the screen. It takes up to 20 seconds! B= ut when there is compilation running or something else CPU intensive, the ti= mer seems to work fine. I even tried setting different kern.timecounter.hardware (TSC, ACPI-safe,= i8254) and kern.hz (to lower than the default 1000) but that did not help= a bit. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the calcru messages apart from reinstalling to real hardware? -- Vaclav Haisman --------------enig58A2BE307BE3420FD821C800 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEVAwUBRYhsh0NOZDESBK8FAQJm+wgAgPivYXdP1p0xJZ26ZXBnLxiglrLqTGng 2jE1AzRa8+7IEjaCoChttq8hYZd6VZeayF7c9zF0QpVUmSyhjGTnqmbKxZ1FFTSL mRsFVWH5ShcKGMOiLw0vFYnv6JTPddBG+ZIqae6c73rwSjrzPqJNr9Q++vJ/uneY OgJw/0YBDdG+PKDxncRGGWHe4mgnf/Vgx3HDvU4+SXLUvNsipDmZBx7e1q+tKyNl 0wWRJxMqUNo5y9ij8dkpdOHzNsVzg3n8zYEuDO9/66lxeNbA5xd3tJXPP3wloZv8 20dHkdqzXTOntemwOYIaq1MSMaqc+5t+dKAWrllgORrGNHAEgvcb4Q== =0mMY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig58A2BE307BE3420FD821C800--
