> Make sense to me. If Ben is busy, I will measure it and send the result. I've done measurements on the patched kernel. All that remains is to do measurements on the baseline unpached case. To summarize the results thusfar, Times: ======= user sys %cpu inputs outputs Patched, drop 142 64 46 13557744 14052744 Patched, nodrop 55 57 33 13557936 13556680 vmstat: ======== free_pages inact_anon act_anon inact_file act_file dirtied written reclaim Patched, drop, pre 306043 37541 185463 276266 153955 3689674 3604959 1550641 Patched, drop, post 13233 38462 175252 536346 178792 5527564 5371563 3169155 Patched, nodrop, pre 475211 38602 175242 81979 178820 5527592 5371554 3169155 Patched, nodrop, post 7697 38959 176986 547984 180855 7324836 7132158 3169155 Altogether, it seems that something is horribly wrong, most likely with my test (or rsync patch). I'll do the baseline benchmarks today. Thoughts?
