Dear Andrew

Thank you for your help in advance

I keep checking the loading. it is running fine. the
load averages is not over to 1.0


System info:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
2G memory

for the sysctl var:

kern.polling.enable=1
kern.polling.user_frac=10
kern.ipc.somaxconn=2048
kern.polling.poll_in_trap=1

I don't run   iperf and my switch is not managable.

could you provide any hints to check it?

and tune the system also.

Thank you again
