r7800 latency is on par with kong builds, but the cpu usage for sirq on wifi interfaces is still broken and over 3x higher than kong builds and BS k3.18 builds..
kong r40720m firewall/qos/nat disabled, 5ghz sirq cpu load @ 320mbps:
core0: 15%
core1: 3%
ANY k4.x bs build firewall/qos/nat disabled, 5ghz sirq cpu load @ 320mbps:
core0: 60%
core1: 40%
if the r7800 was doing nat+qos, it still would be choking at these speeds from not enough cpu free.. keep the latency the same and fix the cpu usage, this will be finally 100% fixed for the first time..

No reset -- GUI install over r41892
switch / ovpn server / VLAN / samba share ext4
SAMBA NO worky
AND
it now shows 13 different 'Maximium Protocol Version' to choose from in the webif
AND
its got this new 'Encryption' feature in the webif
I tried several different protocol versions and also removed its user name & password and made public share
Still NO worky at all. The webif shows 'Samba Stopped' -- however my linux box can see it is there but there is NO way to connect to it in its current state.
Only thing I did not do was reformat the drive --- its only a 16GB flash drive but I just ain't gonna do that.
I boot her back to other part running r41892 and she good as new
more info ---
'dmesg of r41954' ...'ps' is at bottom of page

'dmesg of r41892' ... yea its processes is there also
now this is what imma used to seeing forever & always.

Samba does not work will not open shares.
SSH connects but drops. Telnet works better.
GUI buggy does not navigate well.
Proftpd as well as everything else I use working.
EDIT: I couldn't navigate the webif well enough to see all mrjcd shows. Reverted to 41874 with telnet/CLI

usmbd I believe is the in-kernel samba that is being tested, perhaps All I know is I saw that and cringed. Server string and workgroup aren't required? Interesting. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Really makes me NO nevermind because r41813 running on main EA8500
is perfecly fine, Uptime 11 days, 6:53, without a bleep.
I too am having great performance with r41813. As you have provided so much information and help I thought I would pass on a tidbit that may be of interest to you and others who have gone back to ondemand from the stock performance setting in BS builds for the EA8500.
Poking about here and in the OpenWRT forms I noted that Kong includes the following settings for the EA8500 in his OpenWRT builds.
I added the sleep and smp_affinity code and use this in my startup command. On-demand works well, the router runs a bit cooler, and, most importantly, there is appears to be no change in peak performance as my openVPN client gives the same speeds as the performance setting.
yea LSM, in DD-WRT Kong always had a little different settings than BS in what you mention, for all IPQ units.
BS builds work just fine for me the way he has them ..... then again, I only have a 50/50 ISP fiber connection

LSM
just
for CPUFREQ in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor; do [ -f $CPUFREQ ] || continue; echo -n performance > $CPUFREQ; done
is cleaner and does it best as it will ever get till BS actually starts believing his users when we say theres a problem.. _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

I have done a lot of testing for the R7800, I know Kong uses 20 for up_threshold which is a bit to low for my taste, I use 35 which does give the same performance (and is also recommended on OpenWRT).
(OpenWRT standard is really bad up_threshold is 95, even normal WAN<>LAN throughput is hampered and not more than 650 Mb/s)
These settings are also discussed in the DWRT R7800 install guide
