Message-ID: <4787@killer.UUCP> Date: 13 Jul 88 06:17:11 GMT Reply-To: fmayhar@killer.UUCP (Frank Mayhar) Organization: The Unix(R) Connection BBS, Dallas, Tx Lines: 15 I have a question, related to our development work on a 68020-based SVR2 system: Why does swapper rack up so much CPU? In spite of the fact that the machine is completely idle for days at a time, swapper's CPU stays roughly even with the amount of time that the system has been up, to within about a minute. What gives, and how can we change this? The machine will run as an intelligent peripheral for a mainframe, and we're trying to maximize performance. If anyone can help, please reply by email to the Internet address if possible, otherwise to this machine. Thanks in advance. -- Frank Mayhar UUCP: ..!{ihnp4,dj3b1}!killer!fmayhar ARPA: Frank-Mayhar%ladc@BCO-MULTICS.ARPA USmail: 2116 Nelson Ave. Apt A, Redondo Beach, CA 90278 Phone: (213) 371-3979 (home) (213) 216-6241 (work)
