Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 00/22] Do away with TB retranslation

[Leon Alrae <leon.alrae@imgtec.com>]

I've been testing target mips on the tcg-search-2 branch -- I haven't
spotted any obvious regressions and performance gain was visible in some
of my tests. On qemu-system-mips64el the Linux kernel build time went
down from 465m to 305m. And in a virtual memory torture test I can see
slightly above x2 speedup. Nice improvement.

Regards,
Leon
