Ok. Then we are done. With 58 Itanium processors and 200G Ram I get
more than 10% improvement ;-). With 500 tasks we have 453 vs. 499 j/m/t.
That is 9.21%. For 300 tasks we have 9.4% etc. I am sure that I can push
this some more with bigger counts of processors and also some other NUMA
related performance issues.
58p SGI Altix 200G Ram running 2.6.12-mm1.
