Hi All,
Here is the summary of LMBench(patch2) performance tool results for
different Linux kernels.
There are some surprising results for 2.5.XX kernel.
There is a drastic change in the latency of system calls stat and
open/close between 2.5.xx kernels.
Local communication latencies have also increased for 2.5.44 kernel
compared to 2.5.43.
TCP and AF_UNIX socket stream bandwidth has also got drastic change.
Does any one have any idea why there is a spike in performance of 2.5.xx
kernel ??
Thanks,
pavan
