Here's a KSM series
Sanity check: do you have a feeling for how useful KSM is?
Performance/space improvements for typical (or atypical) workloads?
Are people using it?  Successfully?


BTW, After thinking a bit about the word people, I wanted to see if normal users of linux that just download and install Linux (without using special virtualization product) are able to use it.
So I google little bit for it, and found some nice results from users:

But I do agree that it provide justifying value only for virtualization users...


Hi,
I think it mostly used for virtualization, I know at least two products that it use - RHEV - RedHat enterprise virtualization, and my current place (Ravello Systems) that use it to do vm consolidation on top of cloud enviorments (Run multiple unmodified VMs on top of one vm you get from ec2 / rackspace / what so ever), for Ravello it is highly critical in achieving high rate
of consolidation ratio...


IOW, is it justifying itself?
