Since 6.1 I have stopped using polling as a regular kernel seems to give
good performance as compared to polling mode.
In fact I used to get anything between 55-75megs/sec on 6.1 with regular
cables but since upgraded to cat6 quality Ethernet cable I get
practically full gigabit speed with no polling.
Close to 97megs/sec is the performance I get out of my Dells with the em
driver, and apparently the new em driver in 6-stable 6.2 is even faster.
em(4) Dell to em(4) Dell
dell1# cat /dev/zero | dd bs=1m | nc dell2 3000
^C0+18456 records in
0+18455 records out
1209466880 bytes transferred in 12.459299 secs (97,073,429 bytes/sec)
Do you meen that from 6.2 I dont need polling for fastest performance?
