On my otherwise idle Duron 750 with slow disks, I am getting something like these: 0.99.9m : 130m virtual, 40m resident, (0major+14205minor) 67.62user 0.08system 1:15.95elapsed master : 130m virtual, 40m resident, (0major+12510minor) 66.06user 0.07system 1:10.95elapsed "next" : 150m virtual, 65m resident, (0major+49858minor) 51.41user 0.45system 0.57.55elapsed The result will _not_ exactly match, because the similarity estimation algorithms are different. Judging the differences objectively is a bit hard, but my impression is that the "next" one tends to find more sensible renames. To name a few: * Documentation/dvb/README.dibusb from v2.6.12 seems pretty similar to Documentation/dvb/README.dvb-usb from v2.6.14, and "next" finds them, but "master" does not. * "master" says arch/arm/configs/omnimeter_defconfig was copy-edited to produce arch/arm/configs/collie_defconfig; The diff output shows ~350 new lines and ~270 deleted lines, while these files are 800-900 lines long; "next" rejects them. I think this is a border-line case. * "next" finds Kconfig and Makefile in arch/arm/mach-omap-1/ are derived from arch/arm/mach-omap/; manual inspection of these files makes me feel that decision is sensible. "master" does not find them. * Same thing for config.c in arch/m68knommu/platform/68VZ328/; found to be derived from arch/m68knommu/platform/68VZ328/de2/ by "next" but not by "master". * Other examples "next" finds but "master" misses include: arch/um/kernel/process.c arch/um/os-Linux/start_up.c arch/um/kernel/tt/unmap.c arch/um/sys-x86_64/unmap.c drivers/ide/cris/ide-v10.c drivers/ide/cris/ide-cris.c include/asm-ppc/cputime.h include/asm-xtensa/cputime.h include/asm-ppc64/ioctl.h include/asm-xtensa/ioctl.h include/asm-ppc64/ioctls.h include/asm-xtensa/ioctls.h include/asm-ppc64/mman.h include/asm-xtensa/mman.h include/asm-ppc64/poll.h include/asm-xtensa/poll.h include/asm-ppc64/shmbuf.h include/asm-xtensa/shmbuf.h include/asm-ppc64/socket.h include/asm-xtensa/socket.h include/asm-ppc64/termbits.h include/asm-xtensa/termbits.h * The "next" one is not perfect.
