That's pretty interesting since I know of a dual PII box at a friend's place of work that's been doing *exactly* this ever since SMP entered -current; it's never worked properly. You know how hard it is to benchmark a machine who's clock runs twice as fast, too? :-) I wonder if this is a bug which has been latent since the beginning but only bites some people. We asked Steve Passe if he wanted to borrow the box in question but he was too busy. :( Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
