| 18:03.42 | cp15 | Good evening everyone |
| 18:08.24 | bhima | Good morning. |
| 18:10.54 | cp15 | Already up? |
| 18:11.19 | bhima | what do you mean? |
| 18:12.15 | bhima | http://www.total-knowledge.com/~ilya/mips/ugt.html |
| 18:13.29 | cp15 | :-) Ok, then good morning, of course |
| 18:15.44 | cp15 | Didn't meet rob today, because his whole family is ill |
| 18:17.43 | bhima | I'm sick too. |
| 18:18.47 | cp15 | As usual I am the only person who is not... |
| 18:20.18 | cp15 | How are you? |
| 18:22.25 | bhima | sick. :) |
| 18:22.30 | bhima | need to sleep more. |
| 18:22.49 | bhima | work stuff worked today, though, so that was good. |
| 18:23.43 | cp15 | Oh, I know the sleep problem |
| 18:24.19 | cp15 | But there are also weeks where I get up late and go to bed early |
| 18:24.32 | bhima | How was your day? |
| 18:25.56 | cp15 | Well, I have started early, tried to help a customer, failed, talked to rob, drove home and started my pc :-) |
| 18:26.41 | bhima | Did the customer pay you anyway? |
| 18:27.56 | cp15 | I think he will... Because my customers now: If I can't fix it, it is impossible to fix ;-) |
| 18:28.10 | bhima | heh. So what was the problem? |
| 18:29.28 | cp15 | They want to make a DB2 database productive on a vmware linux client. Although the machine is fast, performance is bad. Much worse than on a slower test machine without vmware. |
| 18:30.17 | cp15 | At least we got from 9 times worser performance to 2.5 times worser... |
| 18:30.28 | bhima | That's pretty bad. |
| 18:30.53 | cp15 | Well, probably vmware is not the thing to do when you want a fast database |
| 18:32.42 | bhima | I thought ath the performance hit for vmware wasn't supposed to be very high at all. |
| 18:34.20 | cp15 | Pure cpu performance is excellent. IO is also very good. But the syscall overhead is 10 times higher than on a non-vm machine |
| 18:36.38 | cp15 | And there are always strange problems with the clock. Sometimes its running to fast, sometimes to slow |
| 18:38.56 | cp15 | At first, when measuring performance with "time", I thought: Ok, now its close to normal. But the clock went only about half of normal speed |
| 21:45.30 | cp15 | So, good night now |
