Re: Slowdown on high-load machines with 3000 sockets

I already tried with 300 KB and even used a perl-hash as a horrible-slow buffer for a readahead-replacement. It still slowed down on the syswrite to the socket. Thats the strange thing.

Shouldnt thrash.


If nothing else on the system uses any memory, and there
were no memory zones and no division into active and
inactive memory.

You may want to try a smaller readahead window and see if
your system still has trouble with the load.
