| |
I tried out 2.6.2-rc1 today, and saw some very strange behavior with Java. I run a 30s build process (Java/Ant), and it would basically stop in the middle. If I run a "top" next to it (this was all in X), during the pauses, the CPUs would go down to nearly 100% idle, and all the Java processes disappeared from the top of the list. If I moved my mouse at all, the Java build would wake up for a bit, then stop again 10 or 15 seconds later. The build would easily take several minutes if I didn't move my mouse much (or hang indefinitely if I didn't move my mouse at all). If I consistently jiggled my mouse through the entire build, the performance was approximately what I would expect (35-40s).
I tried the same thing under my normal kernel (SuSE 2.4.21-178-smp) and the build ran continuously with no pauses (35s).
The pauses on 2.6.2-rc1 occured with both 32-bit (Sun) and 64-bit (Blackdown) Java implementations.
I can't explain it, but if there's any pertinent info I can provide, I'll be happy to.
Thanks, Aaron
