Kernels: 2.4.15-pre6 and 2.4.15pre6aa1
Tests: Fill and write to 80% of vitual memory 10 times.
mmap, touch, msync, and munmap 500000 pages 5 times.
Simultaneously listen to long mp3 sampled at 128k with
mp3blaster.
Summary: 2.4.15-pre6 49% faster on memfill test with higher mp3
play time. 2.4.15-pre6 11% faster on mmap test.
Config diff: CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM=y in 2.4.15-pre6
Hardware:
Athlon 1333
1024 MB RAM
1024 MB swap
2.4.15-pre6 used a higher percentage of CPU time for both tests.
2.4.15-pre6 played 97% of mp3 and 2.4.15pre6aa1 played 84% during memfill test.
I include one iteration of vmstat 1 from the memfill test because of differences
in b, free, memcache, etc columns.
