Okay, I'm somewhat chagrined but a bit relieved at the same time. Linus'
comment about being sure that I'm testing the same setup promped me to go
through and doublecheck my config. Turns out that I had some debug stuff turned
on. Duh.
Here are the results of 2.4.20 and 2.5.65 with as close to matching configs as I
could make them.
The ones that stand out are:
--fork/exec (due to rmap I assume?)
--mmap (also due to rmap?)
--select latency (any ideas?)
--udp latency (related to select latency?)
--page fault (is this significant?)
--tcp bandwidth (explained as debugging code)
Sorry about the bogus numbers last time around.
Chris
