I've benchmarked it. With about half a million sample IRQs per second on a 16way x86 box the overhead went from 22.3%:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 4701 mingo 20 0 423m 61m 1796 R 22.3 0.5 0:08.11 perf
down to:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 3386 mingo 20 0 88068 61m 1756 R 18.2 0.5 0:03.06 perf
So it's a ~22% speedup.
Also, there's much less virtual memory used as well - a factor of 5 reduction (!).
Applied and pushed out - thanks Arnaldo!
Ingo
