Sorry, it's unclear to me what the "vmas" column denotes. Is that how many VMAs were created before timing the syscall? If so, then 32 is the max that you show here while you seem to have tested with 1000 VMAs. What is the overhead with 1000 VMAs? My worry is that if the overhead grows linearly with the number of VMAs then the effects will be quite noticeable on Android where an application with a few thousand VMAs is not so unusual. > > -Jeff
