Hi People, We are running FoxPro compiled application and it really slow on performance. We have 15 users running dosemu ( version 1.4.0+svn.1828-1 ) in the same server, with freedos ( "FreeCom version 0.84-pre2 XMS_Swap [Aug 28 2006 00:29:00]") and the statistics from sysstat are: 09:45:02 CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 09:55:06 all 28,68 0,00 71,32 0,00 0,00 0,00 10:05:02 all 28,81 0,00 71,19 0,00 0,00 0,00 10:15:20 all 26,96 0,00 73,03 0,00 0,00 0,01 10:25:02 all 26,42 0,00 73,24 0,00 0,00 0,34 10:35:03 all 26,59 0,00 71,90 0,00 0,00 1,50 Always %system is more than 70% . The server is a HP Proliat coreduo, and /proc/cpuinfo show this: mboscovich@psico:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5120 @ 1.86GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 1866.678 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 1 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 4669.09 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5120 @ 1.86GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 1866.678 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 1 siblings : 1 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 4669.09 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: The Distro is Debian GNU/Linux, kernel : Linux elmu 2.6.22-2-686 #1 SMP Fri Aug 31 00:24:01 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux The configuration is : cat /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf $_cpu = "80686" $_cpu_emu = "off" $_rdtsc = (on) $_mathco = (off) $_hogthreshold = (1) $_full_file_locks = (off) $_xms = (16384) $_ems = (0) $_dpmi = (0x5000) $_joy_device = "" $_printer_timeout = (20) $_speaker = "off" $_sound = (off) $_X_title = "Sipefco on GNU/Linux" $_X_font = "-xos4-terminus-bold-r-normal-*-*-240-*-*-c-*-ibm-cp850" $_X_mitshm = (off) $_X_vgaemu_memsize = (512) The users connects to the server with ssh -X. Any idea how to improve the performance?.
