Well, we gained some code and a little bit of data, but the BSS was cut in half which I think deserves noticing :-)
Also, he should analyze the amount of code that actually gets executed for various tasks, comparing 2.4.x to 2.5.x
I'd take a half-meg code size hit if it meant that all the normal code paths got cut in half :-) - 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/
