[snip] The original testing that went with the GLIBC patches also showed no speedup on the hardware Linus uses, but it did show an impressive (perhaps too impressive) speedup on other hardware: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.glibc.alpha/15278 But is it only me who worries that lots of people are running code exposed to the internet that has obviously never even been run under valgrind? -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
