@john dennis: it's not the bug we're hitting, as the issue is visible when launching a "shell command" (via exec program wait)
@Ken: It seems the scheduler granularity is 8ms on debian by default, so definitely not the issue here (100ms would be HUGE!):
Okay, then that is not it.
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_min_granularity_ns 8000000
@Alexander Clouter: it's a dual Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz Do you believe that could cause a 100ms hit?
What about rlm_python? would you recommend using it, or will it be as "slow" as the exec program wait in threaded mode?
If the rlm_python module is coded like the rlm_perl module and compiles the script once and re-runs the parsed code, it will work as well as the rlm_perl module and would be a good choice as well. I have not used it myself so I do not know any implementation details. Regards, Ken
