CPU usage in 3.2 RC4

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hi everybody

i recently switched from a 3.1 kernel to 3.2rc4 from fedora rawhide.
since i switched i am having serious performance isues, mainly due to
my limmited cpu (1.6Ghz attom single core)
when i boot in 3.1 my bootup is mainly I/O limited (according to bootchart)
when i boot in 3.2 my bootup is compleetly CPU limited and takes a lot more time

also file actions (like tar -xf linux-3.1.tar takes) are a cpu hogg,
according to top most of the cpu usage is in kernel space, and i see
different btrfs threads at the top

time tar -xf linux-3.1.tar.bz2
real    11m10.037s
user    1m26.861s
sys    5m26.738s

cpu usage
8%user,
82%sys,

flush-btrfs-5 50%
tar 45%
btrfs-endio-write 20%
btrfs-transaction 15%

it would be nice if somebody could look into this, and hopefully get
it fixed in 3.2 final (i am not a kernel or btrfs guru, so i don't
know where to start looking for the problem)

greetings

Simon Peeters
