Could it be the scheduler using constructs that don't do well on MIPS ?
I remember at some stage we spotted an expensive multiply in there,
maybe there's something similar, or some unaligned or non-cache friendly
vs. the MIPS cache line size data structure, that sort of thing ...
Is this a SW loaded TLB ? Does it misses on kernel space ? That could
also be some differences in how many pages are touched by each scheduler
causing more TLB pressure. This will be mostly invisible on x86.
At this stage, it will be hard to tell without some profile data I
suppose. Maybe next week I can try on a small SW loaded TLB embedded PPC
see if I can reproduce some of that, but no promises here.
Cheers,
Ben.
