But, I don't get what point you meaning... In the data, column of 'thp' means the THP 'always' enabled policy. And, the following column shows the overhead of it compared to that of 'orig', in percent. Thus, the data says THP 'always' enabled policy enabled kernel consumes 50.747 seconds to finish splash2x/ocean_ncp, while THP disabled original kernel consumes 86.927 seconds. Thus, the overhead is ``(50.747 - 86.927) / 86.927 = -0.4162``. In other words, 41.62% speedup. Also, 5.57% speedup and 7.29% memory overhead is for _total_. This data shows it. > > runtime orig rec (overhead) thp (overhead) ethp (overhead) prcl (overhead) > > total 3020.570 3028.080 (0.25) 2852.190 (-5.57) 2953.960 (-2.21) 3276.550 (8.47) Maybe I made you confused by ambiguously saying this. Sorry if so. Or, if I'm still misunderstanding your point, please let me know. Thanks, SeongJae Park [...]
