I am very encouraged by the latest linus kernel, and thought I'd pass this along -
Platform info - ---------------- PIII 933/Intel mobo 512 MB RAM 2 30 GB IDE disks Ensoniq ES1371 sound card Red Hat 7.1 + bits of rawhide kernel 2.4.10-pre14 + preempt patch
The testing was done while running X windows (icewm), Netscape 4.78, iptraf, and misc other services (named, sendmail, apache, iptables firewalling etc.
During the dbench runs mpg123 was playing mp3s -
Highlights - ------------ - There was absolutely no mp3 skipping during dbench 16 & 32. - There was minor skipping during dbench 40, when load was near 40. - Best of all, the desktop remained completely responsive the entire time.
dbench summaries: --------------------------- Throughput 49.6162 MB/sec (NB=62.0202 MB/sec 496.162 MBit/sec) 16 procs Throughput 32.5531 MB/sec (NB=40.6913 MB/sec 325.531 MBit/sec) 32 procs Throughput 24.8711 MB/sec (NB=31.0889 MB/sec 248.711 MBit/sec) 40 procs
