Subject: [uml-devel] Fighting latency
Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2004 16:50:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041104155015.GA29182@gandalf.intern.marcant.net> (raw)

Moin,

in some UMLs i run services which do not like latency, eg. VoIP- and gameserver. 
I previously observed my UMLs going into meditation for a split second every few 
seconds, but that bucking almost disappeard by taking the usual tuning steps 
(SKAS, sysemu, $TMP on tmpfs). Nevertheless, my UMLs are still not as responsive 
as i would like them to. It's not a matter of CPU or network performance. Host
and guest are >=95% idle all the time, bandwidth use is far from my UML-bench-
marks.

I tried to renice the UML processes, but seems not to help (it's hard to measure,
just the "feeling" while listening to audio or onlinegaming). 

Any suggestions?

I enabled "PREEMPT" in host kernel. Maybe that's a bad idea?

/nils.
