No its a page fault benchmark. Dave Miller has done some kernel compiles and I have some benchmarks here that I never posted because they do not show any material change as far as I can see. I will be posting that soon when this is complete (also need to do the same for the atomic page fault ops and the prefaulting patch).

That is all already controllable in the same way as the swapper. Each memory node is bound to a set of cpus. This may be controlled by the NUMA node configuration. F.e. for nodes without cpus. - 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/
