I had lockdep enabled in my config so I ran the tests again with x86-64 defconfig and I'm back to square one: [ number of transactions per second from 10 runs, bigger is better ] min max avg sd 2.6.29-rc1-slab 802.02 805.37 803.93 0.97 2.6.29-rc1-slub 807.78 811.20 809.86 1.05 Pekka -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
