Re: [GnomeMeeting-devel-list] GnomeMeeting on 2.6

Hi

Now I did a test with P_HAS_SEMAPHORES = 1 it is the same as with 0,
so the sound is bad with seti running but it seems to be a littla better 
than when P_HAS_SEMAPHORES was 0. If I run seti with nice level 19 then 
it is ok. So now with 2.6.1 kernel and P_HAS_SEMAPHORES = 1 it the best 
so far.

But still it is not like it was in the 2.4 kernel.

It seems like that GM is punished bye the schedular or something,
the gui becomes reel slow, note that if I try to start other 
applications so are the gui fast on the other applications.

And with seti and GM running so is the load getting high:
load average: 6,75, 3,61, 3,99


Could it be becous that GM dose a lot of I/O all the time?
I think there are stuff in the kernel now that looks at that.


Cheers Johnny
