We've got these two very similar machines that are exhibiting drastically different context-switching performance. The slower of the two is actually task-switching at four times the rate of the other. We've gone through several benchmarks and are at a complete loss to explain it. We've set up a page documenting our efforts: http://www.cyberlifelabs.com/cs-benchmark/ I would appreciate it if someone could offer some insight into what affects context-switching. Is there some obscure kernel variable that we've overlooked? Or is it just one of those unexplainable feng-shui situations? Thanks in advance. -- Milo Hyson Chief "Mad" Scientist CyberLife Labs, LLC
