Possible Server Performance Issue
Facts
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 1) 2.6.9-11.ELsmp
Symptom 1
dmesg reports
Losing some ticks... checking if CPU frequency changed.
Sympton 2
High CPU usage yet no apparent process seems to report the consumption, this is a weblogic server, interesting enough when you stop weblogic then the CPU load drops to minimal usage...
Yes you might say well its weblogic, but something in me says otherwise, but I have no logical facts... am i looking into this too much..
Appreciate any kind of help...
Though the server is experiencing CPU loads of 90 - 100% there is still plenty of memory available and swap is not even being touched..
This is a DL580 with 2 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) MP CPU 3.00GHz.. can anyone help me in resolving this ...
Much appreciated

Re: Possible Server Performance Issue
And what does "cat /proc/cpuinfo" say ?

Re: Possible Server Performance Issue
Tells me that the Enhanced Intel Speedstep technology is supported, notice the est in the flags section, in /proc/cpuifo, but as you quite rightly said who's to say that it indeed works...

Re: Possible Server Performance Issue
To see if it is an instrumentation error, you may need to try some sort of soaker process and see how fast it runs after a boot, and then how fast it runs when the system is in this presented state. If the soaker runs as well as before, it suggests an instrumentation issue.
Perhaps a system-level profiler - I am more familiar with what one can run on Integrity boxes, but perhaps oprofile can do it and show where time is being spent as a sanity check.

Re: Possible Server Performance Issue
Could also compare ps -ef output to the process listing of top I suppose.
