Re: [Lse-tech] [OSDL][BENCHMARK] DBT-2 2.5.65/mjb/osdl comparison data

["Martin J. Bligh" <mbligh@aracnet.com>]

Looks like you're going to get more bang for the buck for this
benchmark by playing around with some of the IO stuff like readahead
or whatever ...

00000000 total                                    6309908  36.9433
c01089b0 default_idle                             6187707 96682.9219

Not all that much room for improvment with CPU efficiency ;-)
