Subject: performance much improved
Date: Sat, 6 Apr 2002 23:29:45 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020407072945.GN30807@holomorphy.com> (raw)

Earlier in the 2.4.x series I noted a strange anomaly:

NetBSD nfsroot clients were able to drive up the load on a 2.4.x NFS
server to 10 or 20. This was doubly surprising as the clients were
machines of far lesser power than the NFS server (e.g. sun3/60 vs. a
600MHz Athlon running Linux ~2.4.8).

A pleasant surprise occurred today while doing make build simultaneously
on all 3 of my NetBSD toasters (sun3/60, ss1, and decstation 5000/200):

The load average on my main machine (the NFS server, 2.4.18-pre7-ac3)
remained quite low, and the machine quite responsive.

I confess I haven't been following the developments closely, but I can
say thank you, and congratulations on the performance improvement.


Cheers,
Bill
