I'd love to see this easily scriptable so we can just run it with one command, eg: $ ./contest > Kernel Time %CPU > 2.4.19 3:00.76 58% > 2.4.19-ck7 2:01.68 86% > 2.4.19-ck7-rmap 2:05.95 83% > 2.4.18-6mdk 3:01.48 58% Very interesting results. People benchmarking just one thing at a time won't get variances anywhere near this big, while real system workload is pretty much always multitasking. I think I've finally found a benchmark that gives results which are meaningful in the context of a multitasking system. regards, Rik -- Bravely reimplemented by the knights who say "NIH". http://www.surriel.com/ http://distro.conectiva.com/ Spamtraps of the month: september@surriel.com trac@trac.org - 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/ | ||||||||||||
