I don't know if it is anything to be concerned about, but I seem to be seeing high interrupt CPU usage in top (at least) when compiling things...


This is a problem of system accounting. The pkgsrc build is heavy on
fork and exec, which is quite different from most other system loads. I
get it consistently on my build system as well.

That wouldn't be:


accounting_enable="NO"

in rc.conf would it? If not, can whatever it is be turned off? I guess it's nothing much to worry about either way.


No, that's process accounting. I'm talking about the update of the timer
statistics inside the kernel.

Joerg

Ok :-) At least I know it's nothing to worry about now, thanks!
