hi

I have these server nodes, doing video streaming.
and
running a server benchmark with 20 concurrent client connections. hardware is 
4 IDE drives. kernel is 2.4.20-pre10 + ext3 O_DIRECT support. filesystem is 
ext3.

The only system call that seems to eat any system time of importance is 
'cdrom_sysctl_register'

problem is: there is no cdrom on the system!

attached is the .config and these three readprofile output files (pro[123]). 
see time to see the interval they have been created in

bash-2.05# ls -l pro[1-3]
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        13965 Jan 29 00:05 pro1
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        14193 Jan 29 00:06 pro2
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        15162 Jan 29 00:09 pro3
