On 13 Aug 2017 17:33 +0200, from rz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Richard Z): > no huge surprise, you are measuring the library, syscall and VFS overhead. Good point, though; if I'm not messing up the powers of ten involved (which has happened before), ~8M syscalls in ~30 seconds means on the order of four microseconds per syscall all the way from userspace and back. Put that way, it's not quite as horrible as needing half a minute to read an 8 MB file. -- Michael Kjörling • https://michael.kjorling.se • michael@xxxxxxxxxxx “People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don’t.” (Bjarne Stroustrup) _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
