Hi All,
These days I have been testing zswap.
I found that the total ram size of my testing machine effected the
testing result.
If I limit RAM size to 2G using "mem=", the performance of zswap is
very disappointing,
But if I use larger RAM size such as 8G, the performance is much better.
Even with RAM size 8G, zswap will slow down the speed of parallelio.
I run the testing(mmtest-0.10 with
config-global-dhp__parallelio-memcachetest) after the default
distribution booted every time.
Below are some results:
1) kernel verion 3.10-rc6, mem=2G
