raphzahn (raphael-ku),

the information from 'cat /proc/i8k' is obtained by a series of function calls. I have a modified i8k kernel module which logs these times, and I thought you could use it to measure the times and post here. This way we can see if the 'freeze' is because the command 'cat /proc/i8k' is calling too many slow calls.

What needs to be done is compile the module i8k and insert it into kernel with 'insmod', instead of using the default in your system. The tar.gz is attached. To compile the module, issue 'make module'.
