Subject: -mm seems significanty slower than mainline on kernbench
Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2006 17:14:04 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43C45BDC.1050402@google.com> (raw)

OK, I fixed the graphs so you can actually read them now ;-)

http://test.kernel.org/perf/kernbench.elm3b6.png (x86_64 4x)
http://test.kernel.org/perf/kernbench.moe.png (NUMA-Q)
http://test.kernel.org/perf/kernbench.elm3b132.png (4x SMP ia32)

Both seems significantly slower on -mm (mm is green line)

If I look at diffprofile between 2.6.15 and 2.6.15-mm1, it just looks
like we have lots more idle time. You got strange scheduler changes in
there, that you've been carrying for a long time (2.6.14-mm1 at least)? 
or HZ piddling? See to be mainly getting much more idle time.

Diffprofile:

       1278    39.6% default_idle
       1261    10.1% total
