Hyperthreading?
Nope. Standard plain Pentium IV of 2001 vintage, running at a "mere" 1800MHz. My suspects are around these settings in the kernel: Preemption Model (Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)) ---> Timer frequency (250 HZ) ---> I say that because others have said that they think it is something in the kernel, and because the instants I saw that problem my firebird was pretty busy redrawing a largish page with javascript. If the system is very busy it may loose interrupts :-? Not really, and the fact would be reported in the kernel log. Something else not attended to? I don't know enough. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
