Rolf, I think plain 4.18 kernel misses Dave's speed-up patches: * http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=7797167ffde1f00446301cb22b37b7c03194cfaf * http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3b885ac1dc35b87a39ee176a6c7e2af9c789d8b8 Both patches have been scheduled to be added to 4.18-stable kernel.
