[erlang-bugs] High latency and CPU usage on *BSD (pull req #528)

[Alex Wilson]

Hi all,

I submitted a pull request a bit over a month ago (#528) to fix issues 
around high latency and CPU usage, especially on OpenBSD (but also a lot 
of the rest of the BSD family) due to os_mon forking and shelling out to 
run "uptime" and "ps".

Is it possible I could get some feedback on this? Is there a reason it's 
been sitting untouched? Without the patch, Riak is borderline unuseable 
on OpenBSD 5.6, as are a few other libraries and apps, so I was hoping 
it might get a little more attention.

Sorry to nag! I'd much rather have the issue fixed upstream than have to 
put local patches into packaging on 4 platforms separately with the next 
release...
