Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2008 02:47:39 +0300 (MSK) From: "Lev A. Melnikovsky" <melnikovsky@...l.ru> To: David Brownell <david-b@...bell.net> cc: Rene Herman <rene.herman@...access.nl>, Alessandro Suardi <alessandro.suardi@...il.com>, Linux Kernel <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Re: ehci-hcd affects hda speed Hi, again Just in case - I do have an A7V8X-based PC in the office and have performed a simple experiment. #1. Idle USB controller has no effect on PCI performance (I again measured hda throughput). #2. Default value for register 4Bh is 09h. #3. I have detected no effect of changing [4Bh]=29h. Particularly, USB FLASH read speed is ~8MB/s and hda read speed is ~40MB/s regardless of [4Bh] content. During hda timing, "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1024" was running in another window (/dev/sda being the USB stick). My interpretation, is that bit5 at offset 4B may _not_ be an "EHCI sleep time select" like it is for VT6212. Am I missing something?
