Will review, thanks!
One questions that comes to mind is whether it's all about bypassing
stac/clac. Could you please include a performance comparison with
nosmap?
On machine without SMAP (Sandy Bridge):
Before: 4.8Mpps
After: 5.2Mpps
On machine with SMAP (Broadwell):
Before: 5.0Mpps
After: 6.1Mpps
No smap: 7.5Mpps
Thanks
