[Lcd4linux-devel] performance improvement

[Michael R. <re...@eu...>]

Hi ther,

I just finished the new hash model, and adoptet plugin_netdev to it.

On my AMD Athlon XP 1900 lcd4linux used to run with 17% CPU load 
(because of many disks and many network adatpters, especially 4 TUN 
devices), with the new version the load is between 1 and 2 %.

This is great, I think!

Please note that I changed the syntax of the netdev() function: It now 
needs three parameters:

netdev(device, parameter, delay)

device = e.g. 'eth0' (or 'eth.*')
parameter = e.g. 'Rx_bytes'

the plugin reads the /proc/net/dev file, and uses the header values for 
possible parameters, and prefixes them with either Rx_ or Tx_


Have fun,
           Michael
