after performing some bench on my new dual PII 266Mhz running Debian
1.3, I noticed that the results looked strange to me :
some calculations under bc (2000 decimals of pi) returned a much bigger
value for the system time compared to the user time
since the kernel is recompiled from source, i first blamed it on time or
bc program, so i downloaded time-1.7 and bc-1.04, recompiled the all
thing and ran the program again :
./time ./bc pi.bc
4.37user 111.06system ... 100%CPU ...
while another machine with Red Hat 4.2 and 5.0, I've got the opposite :
30.45user 0.01system ...
my question is :
What part of the system/kernel is in charge of attributing sys/user time
and is Debian really wrong returning such results with a completely
recompiled kernel/time/bc programs
my config :
dual PII 266Mhz 440LX 256M sdram running 2.0.32+tulip patch
PCI cards : DPT3334UW, NCR53c810, S3, 100Mb/s DS21140 tulip
BTW, this system works really fine since 2/3 months
Thanks
