I'm hoping someone can help me make sense of the output from "systat -v" on my machine. I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.8 on a Celeron 333A (with L2 cache), 256 MB RAM, 8 GB IDE drive (soon to be replaced with Ultra-SCSI), and a 4 GB Ultra-SCSI drive on an Adaptec 2940UW. I started examing systat to try and dtermine why my overall throughput is so low - I'm currently maxing out at around 2 Mbits on a 10 Mbit circuit. Running "systat -v" shows my CPU usage to be sitting right around 13% Sys, 32% Intr, 9% User. That Intr percentage seems might god-awful high. Am I correct in assuming that something is badly amiss here? -- Dan Mahoney dan@wolf.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
