I'd expect them to be a few percent at maximum. Do I assume correctly that this is a result of our cache flushing problems? The CPUs I have are the PA8900s with 64MB cache. dmesg shows Whole cache flush 9590519 cycles, flushing 11534336 bytes 8720637 cycles Cache flush threshold set to 12387 KiB Whole TLB flush 19805 cycles, flushing 11534336 bytes 1825128 cycles TLB flush threshold set to 492 KiB Just curious if this is expected and trying to understand the problem better. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
