Subject: VM tests on 2.4.15-pre6 and 2.4.15pre6aa1
Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2001 09:57:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011118095720.A324@earthlink.net> (raw)


Kernels:	2.4.15-pre6 and 2.4.15pre6aa1

Tests:		Fill and write to 80% of vitual memory 10 times.
		mmap, touch, msync, and munmap 500000 pages 5 times.
		Simultaneously listen to long mp3 sampled at 128k with
		mp3blaster.

Summary:	2.4.15-pre6 49% faster on memfill test with higher mp3
		play time.  2.4.15-pre6 11% faster on mmap test.

Config diff:	CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM=y in 2.4.15-pre6

Hardware:
Athlon 1333
1024 MB RAM
1024 MB swap

2.4.15-pre6 used a higher percentage of CPU time for both tests.
2.4.15-pre6 played 97% of mp3 and 2.4.15pre6aa1 played 84% during memfill test.
I include one iteration of vmstat 1 from the memfill test because of differences
in b, free, memcache, etc columns.
