With this applied, 100-patch series (going from present to past at the Linux 2.6 kernel tip) applies correctly with the following stats: Trying w/o the patch... 24.57user 4.48system 0:34.47elapsed 84%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+322156minor)pagefaults 0swaps Trying w/ the patch... 15.81user 3.00system 0:20.84elapsed 90%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+252063minor)pagefaults 0swaps So there definitely is an improvement. *Grin*. The script used to bench this is attached at the end.
