Hello, I am quiet here for sometime, so I am not exactly a new user of the list, but a quiet one... I've been using dosemu+freedos for a Cobol application for 4 or 5 years, we have a dedicated server for that aplication and everybody rsh to it to run the application. In the begining we had 10 to 12 users, now we have 26. This cobol app always tried to eat the most of cpu it can, with 10 or 12 users the situation were acceptable, but now with 26 it is been very hard to work. I tried many approaches, the computer is a AMD 64 running a 2.6.16 kernel (tried many kernels also), dosemu 1.2.2-8. I swapped an IDE disk for two SATA in stripping. But nothing... It seems that the cobol app keeps reading the keyboard all the time, I talked to the app programmer and he said they use the ACCEPT call, they don't do the loop, maybe accept does... I don't know. The funny thing is that in Windows it just doesn't happen, the cpu stays in 1% of usage. My guess is that the problem is with some emulation that dosemu does, but I don't know what to think anymore. Does anybody have any ideia?
