I am affected by this bug as well. I run BOINC and Hardy on two computers and occasionally transfer files between them. Network performance degraded quite badly. Was getting as low as 300KB/s on Ethernet (10/100).
I did testing using: time md5sum /dev/urandom & pid=$! ; sleep 10 ; killall md5sum time nice md5sum /dev/urandom & pid=$! ; sleep 10 ; killall md5sum Results: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ time md5sum /dev/urandom & pid=$! ; sleep 10 ; killall md5sum [1] 7822 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ bash: line 1: 7823 Terminated md5sum /dev/urandom real 0m10.116s user 0m0.112s sys 0m8.589s [1]+ Exit 143 time md5sum /dev/urandom [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ time nice md5sum /dev/urandom & pid=$! ; sleep 10 ; killall md5sum [1] 7857 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ bash: line 3: 7858 Terminated nice md5sum /dev/urandom real 0m10.028s user 0m0.120s sys 0m9.893s -- 2.6.24-2: Regression with idle cpu cycle handling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
