well that's funny.

-mm3 has fifo_batch=16. 2.5.39 has fifo_batch=32.

2.5's swapout is still fairly synchronously sucky. So low-latency
writeout could be advantageous there. This difference is probably
also the fifo_batch thing. Or maybe statistical?


I did some testing with your latest. 4xPIII, mem=512m, SCSI,
tag depth = 0, 2.5.39-mm1 candidate:

fifo_batch=32:

noload 2:34.53 291%
cpuload 2:36.20 286%
memload 2:19.44 333%
ioloadhalf 2:34.81 303%
ioloadfull 3:15.47 238%

(err. memload sped it up!)

fifo_batch=16:

noload 2:00.03 380%
cpuload 2:27.62 304%
memload 2:22.59 326%
ioloadhalf 2:33.75 306%
ioloadfull 2:59.18 259%

- Something went horridly wrong in the first `noload' test.
- fifo_batch=16 is better than 32.
- you see a 4x hit from io_load. I see a 1.5x hit.

This is all pretty wild. I'll go profile process_load a bit.



BTW, please change all the

#define dprintf(...) printf(__VA_ARGS__)

to

#define dprintf(x...) printf(x)

so people who use crufty old compilers can build it.
