I noticed during testing recent fio releases it seemed bit laggy to start, so I tried some tests and it seems fio has been increasingly taking longer to start for some reason. Don't know if this is expected or if something is wrong? These are some tests I ran on a few different release versions... matt@matt-desktop:~$ time fio-2.2.3/fio -v fio-2.2.3 real 0m0.008s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.004s matt@matt-desktop:~$ time fio-2.2.3/fio -v fio-2.2.3 real 0m0.009s user 0m0.009s sys 0m0.000s matt@matt-desktop:~$ time fio-2.2.4/fio -v fio-2.2.4 real 0m0.009s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.008s matt@matt-desktop:~$ time fio-2.2.4/fio -v fio-2.2.4 real 0m0.009s user 0m0.009s sys 0m0.000s matt@matt-desktop:~$ time fio-2.2.5/fio -v fio-2.2.5 real 0m0.015s user 0m0.011s sys 0m0.004s matt@matt-desktop:~$ time fio-2.2.5/fio -v fio-2.2.5 real 0m0.014s user 0m0.003s sys 0m0.010s matt@matt-desktop:~$ time fio-2.2.6/fio -v fio-2.2.6 real 0m0.015s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.011s matt@matt-desktop:~$ time fio-2.2.6/fio -v fio-2.2.6 real 0m0.015s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.015s matt@matt-desktop:~$ time fio-2.2.7/fio -v fio-2.2.7 real 0m0.083s user 0m0.015s sys 0m0.066s matt@matt-desktop:~$ time fio-2.2.7/fio -v fio-2.2.7 real 0m0.081s user 0m0.013s sys 0m0.067s matt@matt-desktop:~$ time fio-2.2.11/fio -v fio-2.2.11 real 0m0.079s user 0m0.020s sys 0m0.059s matt@matt-desktop:~$ time fio-2.2.11/fio -v fio-2.2.11 real 0m0.079s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.078s -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
