Subject: Re: Serial port latency
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 22:45:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000401c0b319$c2ba7dd0$5517fea9@local> (raw)

Is the computer otherwise idle?
I've seen one unexplainable report with atm problems that disappeared
(!) if a kernel compile was running.

Could you try to run a simple cpu hog (with nice 20)?

<<
main()
{
    for(;;) getpid();
}
<<

I'm aware of one bug that could cause a delay of up to 20 ms (cpu_idle()
doesn't check for pending softirq's before sleeping), but that doesn't
explain your 500 ms delay.
