<![CDATA[Kernel polling]]>Hello,

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why isn't there device/kernel polling in pfsense.
I am currently running m0n0wall on my WRAP, but would like to use pfsense.
Only running on pfsense i get a big cpu-load, and running m0n0wall with the polling option enabled the load is almost none.

why is this?

Greetz,

As  pfsense has only a general image supplying different optimizations is not that easy (unless we add some kind of pulldown menu with different optimizations or even a tweak page). This is something we already have discussed and even  tested different settings with a wrap (see http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=Tuning ) and might appear in a version after 1.0.

With m0nowall it made i big improvement, but with pfsense i don't see any diff.
How can i check if it does work or not?

Thanks.
