Hi Christoph, We tested 2.6.24-rc5 + 76be895001f2b0bee42a7685e942d3e08d5dd46c
For 2.6.24-rc5 before that patch, slub had a performance penalty of 6.19%. With the patch, slub's performance penalty was reduced to 4.38%. This is great progress. Can you think of anything else worth trying? -- Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such a retrograde step." -- 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/
