If that's why you posted top output: It doesn't depend on absolute load. Maybe your debian box enables throttling, either ACPI P-States, or CPUfreq. You might want to play with the cpufreq ondemand governor (there's also an alternative implementation, read the docs of those kernel options) or cpufreqd. > Is there some option to activate in the kernel to support better the > thermal or cpu use? CPUfreq, see above. And it certainly won't make CPU use better (it throttles) -- but might lower the temperature. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
