--GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On the 25th I bit the bullet and csup-ed my source tree to RELENG_7. The update of the base system and kernel went relatively well, although I had to make some small changes to my kernel config. I'm using the SCHED_ULE scheduler at the moment. My machine is a UP athlon64. Rebuilding my ports with portmaster didn't really work. Apparently there ware some mixed-up dependencies. I ended up nuking all ports and reinstalling them from scratch, which went without problems. Generally, I'm, pleased with the improvements. Playing music with Audacious goes much smoother; less hickups than on 6-STABLE. Interactivity generally feels very good. Hovewer, sometimes a program seems to hog the CPU for a couple of seconds (as seen in top(1)), and interactivity suffers tremendously. Could this be the scheduler getting mixed up? This happened two times with graphics/telak, which I use to put update some graphs on my desktop every minute. In both cases I killed the program. But it also happened one time with cc1 during compilation of a program. Would it be worthwhile to play with kern.sched.interact or kern.sched.slice in this case? Or should I re-csup?
