"Does not work well with SMP machines" translates into "does not profit too much from multiple processors". This is due to the fact that bsmon is doing most of the work in one single process (except for graph updating as long as it uses the "rrdtool" command). So you might be surprised that after adding another CPU has got nearly no effect at all at bsmon ... This includes the effect of a "virtual" CPU, thus hyperthreading. > If so any tips how to deal with that? There's currently no real way around this. If performance is a real problem then it is actually possible to run two or more bsmon processes each of it only doing part of the work. But this is hard configuration work (bsmon.cfg) and I cannot predict the effect on performance.
