I don't know if this belongs in -current or -smp, so here goes. I am running -current SMP, cvsup, etc. late last night PDT. # uname -a FreeBSD celebris 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: \ Tue Jul 11 09:53:15 PDT 2000 \ tomdean@celebris:/usr/src/sys/compile/CELEBRIS-SMP i386 I have been using 'make world' as a stability/performance indicator. The stability has been good. I have had no recent panics, etc., during 'make world'. I choose the times to update carefully. Good work core team. I seem to see somewhat of a performance drop in the past week. I save the output of 'make world' I know this is not a benchmark nor a very accurate indicator. However, I believe 'make world' is a pretty good torque tool for a lightly loaded, interactive, 'play' system. And, disk I/O, compiling and executing user code is what interactive users do. If 'make world' puts out approximately the same number of lines, I think it is doing about the same amount of work. I see an increase in 'make world' time over the past week, or so. The number of lines of output has gone up slightly. The time elapsed has gone up more. # world_time.sh Make World Statistics -current SMP, 2xP133, 96MB RAM, IBM Superstor 9G disk. Lines is the number of lines of output produced by 'make world'.
