double post, next one contains more info.

Yah, I have the physical manual, he gave me all of them. Problem is, the manual is good for four Super (thats the make) models: P4DC6, P4DC6+, P4DCE, and P4DCE+. My mobo (last time I checked) looked like it had characteristics of the E+ and 6+ mobo's. I will check the manual anyway to see if there is some performance-hindering setting that may be on.

The manual should then tell you where to locate the model of yours. It could be somewhere near a pci slot, where mine is. I'm not saying it might be the same for you, it is just an example.

Do you lshw installed? Run it, it will give you all the details of your hardware.

That's a "calculated" value, so some variation is to be expected - but certainly not 50%.
Believe me, he's got a problem ...

Well I don't mean to slightly hijack cyph's thread, but now I have noticed something too, on my system.

Code:

root      1018  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S<   21:25   0:00 [jfsCommit]
root      1019  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S<   21:25   0:00 [jfsCommit]

This is from my notebook, and it seems to be running jfs-commit twice. I don't know if it is because of the dual core, or the fact that I have a /home and / partition formatted as jfs, although luckily I don't have any XFS processes running! LOL!

But do I too? Since my bogomips are slightly off of each other. What does that mean? Or show I just not worry?.

No lshw.

syg00, thanks so much :/

Would it be a good idea to set hyperthreading? I also have CPU clock ratio, it is set on x8 by default but can go up to x23.

Not that that explains phantom_cyph's problem.

Sorry, wasn't trying to beat-up on you - I was obliquely alluding to my initial comment. IMHO this really is a problem, not just "perceived".

Its alright. Just waiting to get a response about the hyperthreading and such before I reboot my computer and change some settings...

As I understand it, "phantom_cyph" isn't using debian and you aren't talking about his computer. So I don't get what you wanted to say.

I meant when frequency scaling is enabled, there are several possible governors, and I do not remember how exactly each one of them works, but I suppose it is possible to lock frequency at minimum possible value, which will cause slowdown. List of available governors is available at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors and current governor is visible in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor. But in this case it looks like problem is somewhere else.

Personally I won't bother - can be done anytime. Fix one problem at a time.

ErV, leave BrianL alone. He has helped me countless times with problems, and he wouldn't post something in my thread if it didn't have something to do with my problem in some way. I appreciate everyone's help, regardless of a post that may not have been dealing with my computer or OS directly.

No, I know he's not using Debian, and I said it wouldn't help his problem. I was just commenting on the fact that you raised: that cpufrequtils, cpufrqd, (or whatever) can make a difference. And that Debian, unlike Slackware, installs and enables them whether they're wanted or not.
