When looking at how to tweak FreeBSD for desktop use, the most common tweak is this:
This, supposedly, does something with X Windows, allowing it to run more smoothly when CPU use is very high... or something like that...
My question is: What does it mean, and what does it do?
Also, I can't set it in /boot/loader.conf... how do I set it?
Also, any things you'd recommend doing, before a custom kernel, to optimize FreeBSD for desktop use? Anything you did you want to share?
I know of tuning(7), but it's not exactly a stimulating read... : <
Code:
sysctl kern.sched.preempt_thresh=224
Default: 80
