On an 8p 2.6.24-rc2 I see even a 50% regression on tbench SLAB vs. SLUB when specifying 8 threads.
Interestingly nothing changes the performance numbers regardless of debugging on or off etc etc. Usually debugging should reduce performance but nada. May have something to do with the localhost interface? Something is effectively throttling SLUB here. 2.6.23 SLUB 2159.62 MB/sec 2.6.24-rc2-slab head SLUB 1260.80 MB/sec 2.6.24 SLUB should be faster than 2.6.23 SLUB. Still trying to figure out what is going on.... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
