The average free() time for a 1TB malloc on a vanilla kernel was 41.69s, the patched kernel averaged 21.56s for the same test. I am testing v2 now and will report back with results in the next day or so. - Alex -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
