So I've run a test on a machine with 1G of memory, thresh=184M (so
something similar to your 4G-1G test). I've used tiobench using 10 threads,
each thread writing 1.6G file. I have run the test 10 times to get an idea
of fluctuations. The result is:
without patch with patch
AVG STDDEV AVG STDDEV
199.884820 +- 1.32268 200.466003 +- 0.377405
The numbers are time-to-completion so lower is better. Summary is: No
statistically meaningful difference. I'll run more tests with different
dirty thresholds to see whether I won't be able to observe some
difference...
