between each byte either sent or received). However, most transitions actually complete in 2-3 microseconds. By polling the status register with a delay of 4us with exponential backoff, the performance of most IPMI operations is significantly improved: - A BMC update on a Supermicro x9 or x11 motherboard goes from ~1 hour to ~6-8 minutes. - An ipmitool sensor list time improves by a factor of 4. Testing showed no significant improvements on a modern server by using a lower delay. The changes should also generally reduce the total amount of CPU or I/O bandwidth used for a given IPMI operation.
