Yes, your improvement is great and would work even for higher amounts. I meant that our lookup is currently pretty sad -- O(N) that is presumably optimized by looking at the largest regions first. Maybe we would benefit from O(log N) lookup even with 128 memslots. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
