Subject SMP + Hyperthreading
Author Pablo León
Hi all,

I have a dual Xeon machine running fb super server 1.5.1 on smp linux
2.4.6. This machine is serving an intensive client/server database
application.

When I do a 'top' command, I get a process fbserver with 99.9% cpu
usage. However, all four cpu's show about 70% of idle states.

How can I increase my server performance? How can I push fbserver to use
more cpu power? Should I disable Hyperthreading? Any kernel compilation
parameter recommendation?

Thank's in advance for your answers.
