So far I haven't seen an answer that comes close to explaining it. My guess is that it's because of the specific timer you're using; which is it? Is there anything else of interest in your setup? FWIW, I get (without ACPI) on two different machines essentially the same: $ vmstat -i interrupt total rate irq0: clk 55250411 1000 irq1: atkbd0 47365 0 irq5: ohci1 97516 1 irq8: rtc 7069645 127 irq10: ehci0 1 0 irq11: nve0 xl0+ 1022991 18 irq14: ata0 425652 7 irq15: ata1 4777 0 Total 63918358 1157 $ sysctl -a | grep hz kern.clockrate: { hz = 1000, tick = 1000, profhz = 1024, stathz = 128 } debug.psm.hz: 20 Greg -- See complete headers for address and phone numbers. --G4iJoqBmSsgzjUCe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDlnCAIubykFB6QiMRAhKRAJ9RnZj48W/yE88bNbldMmvj8frvagCfSFQS DmgU8R7kG8nre/582P286x0= =5Cyd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --G4iJoqBmSsgzjUCe--
