Subject[PATCH 16/17] perf tools: Limit the ordered events queue by default to 100MB
Date
It's still configurable by report.queue-size config option,
but looks like 100MB limit is more sane than no limit at all.

There's some speedup for report on huge data files:

With the limit of 100 MB, I've got around 15% speedup on reporting
of ~10GB perf.data file.

current code:
621,685,704,665 cycles ( +- 0.52% )
873,397,467,969 instructions ( +- 0.00% )

286.133268732 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.13% )

with patches:
603,933,987,185 cycles ( +- 0.45% )
869,139,445,070 instructions ( +- 0.00% )

245.337510637 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.49% )

The speed up seems to be mainly in less cycles spent in servicing
page faults.

current code:
4.44% 0.01% perf.old [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault

with patches:
1.45% 0.00% perf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault

current code (faults event):
6,643,807 faults ( +- 0.36% )

with patches (faults event):
2,214,756 faults ( +- 3.03% )

Also there's lower memory consuption.
