I can't imagine that Niagara (or whatever) is so weak that it can't do NMI's. The fact is, David, that Ingo just posted a profile that was _better_ than anything you have ever posted, and it doesn't show what you complain about. So he's not seeing it. Asking him to do a _stupid_ profile is just that: stupid. So try to figure out why his (better) profile doesn't match your (inferior) one, instead of asking him to do stupid things. It's some difference in architectures, likely: maybe the sparc timekeeping is crap, maybe it's a cache issue and sparc caches are crap, maybe it's something where Niagara (is it niagara) has some oddness that shows up because it has that odd four-threads+four-cores or whatever.
