> The system has been very stable for me, and is feeling much snappier. I'm afraid if timecounter(9) using multiple PCC processor clocks works properly. I've committed it back in 2007 to switch alpha port to MI timecounter(9), https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2007/07/21/0012.html https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2007/07/21/0013.html but IIRC ad@ pointed out that x86 TSC implementation (that alpha's PCC implementation was based on) was problematic. There was also a report that sleep(1) or TOD etc. didn't work as expected if timecounter(9) was pcc (and worked fine with clockinterrupt). --- Izumi Tsutsui
