Well, this could have something to do with the fact that our page fault handler only maps in _1_ page at a time, so we're trapping into the pagefault handler every 4kB... The Apache folks were keeping it mapped across requests, so even if it was "primed" (ie. pre-faulted), a read() into a static buffer was still significantly faster. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
