This problem has now been persistent enough in the last few kernels I've run that I've subscribed (once again) to the linux-kernel list and would like to report it. I'm using gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r9.
When the system is compiling something, the state typically stays at about 85-95% system time. This just really does not seem right for my workload, and additionally only appeared a few releases ago (sorry, I didn't bother to track it - I thought it might go away in a release or two; but it has not).
Here is a little output of 'vmstat 5' when this is happening: procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 1 0 12752 61548 57252 211092 0 0 2 50 1083 810 11 89 0 0 1 0 12752 57572 57320 211160 0 0 0 63 1089 683 9 91 0 0 1 0 12752 63288 57328 211220 0 0 8 39 1084 765 11 89 0 0 1 0 12752 60648 57348 211200 0 0 0 56 1086 647 6 94 0 0 1 0 12752 54972 57348 211200 0 0 0 3 1079 659 8 92 0 0 1 0 12752 62284 57348 211268 0 0 4 53 1087 807 17 83 0 0 1 0 12752 59400 57356 211328 0 0 0 34 1222 1919 17 83 0 0
Can someone help me to debug this further? Thanks. -Dan
