The following is the same test results with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY which would the most preemptive server distros would get anyway. One CPU. copy size atomic percpu diff in pct 0 534583387 1521561724 +184.63% 32 399098138 615962137 + 54.34% 64 388128431 555599274 + 43.15% 128 341336474 464502792 + 36.08% 256 280471681 354186740 + 26.28% 512 203784802 240067596 + 17.80% All eight CPUs. copy size atomic percpu diff in pct 0 117213982 12488998111 +10,554.87% 32 103545751 4940695158 + 4,671.51% 64 98135094 4456370409 + 4,441.06% 128 117729659 3725434154 + 3,064.40% 256 95916768 2840992396 + 2,861.94% 512 95795993 1926044518 + 1,910.57% Ration of all cores / single core. copy size atomic percpu 0 0.22 8.21 32 0.26 8.02 64 0.25 8.02 128 0.34 8.02 256 0.34 8.02 512 0.47 8.02 So, it's faster even with only one CPU.
