Sorry, I was a bit hasty.
Hackbench is a test from Rusty Russel that's intended to test the scalability of the scheduler. The results I gathered are from a test where 100 processes are started to send a message to another set of 100 processes. This is repeated at least a few times and the time taken to complete each instance is averaged. Anyone feel free to correct me as I learned this second hand.
The general trend in the metric indicates everything has been improving, so I think we rock. - 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/
