In my ongoing quest to actually catch up to all the DragonFly commits recently, here’s a recent update to machdep.cpu_idle_hlt. Set this to affect power usage. I’m linking to this list of the different settings because, like RAID levels, nobody can or should remember every one.
A running description of activity related to DragonFly BSD.
The important thing to remember is, that the machdep.mwait.* sysctls are only relevant when machdep.cpu_idle_hlt is 1.
And the automatically selected machdep.cpu_idle_hlt setting is efficient for almost every cpu model.
Given all the perf testing presented at AsiaBSD – when will the dragonfly official website update it’s perf chart?
