[TEST] 2.4 vs 2.6.2 vs 2.6.2-mm1 vs 2.6.2-rc3-mm1

[Samium Gromoff]

Here are the tests i`ve promised, and sorry for the delays.

The test machine was a pIII-600/192M RAM/10krpm SCSI drive.

There was three different loads.

the test app whose run time was measured was:

time find / -xdev | \
	bzip2 --compress | bzip2 --decompress | \
	bzip2 --compress | bzip2 --decompress | \
	bzip2 --compress | bzip2 --decompress | \
	cat > /dev/null

the loads were:

Load 1:
	boot options: mem=32M init=/bin/bash
	swapon -a
	run the test

Load 2:
	boot options: mem=48M init=/bin/bash
	swapon -a
	run the test

Load 3:
	boot options: mem=48M
	usual X session, with lots of terminals, emacs and stuff
	the test was run from one of the x terminal emulators

the kernels were:
	2.4.20-pre9, 2.6.2 -- no comments
	2.6.2-rc3-mm1 -- that one didn`t include the Namesys VM patches
	2.6.2--mm1 -- that one _did_ include the Namesys VM patches

results:


		2.4.20-pre9	2.6.2		2.6.2-mm1	2.6.2-rc3-mm1

Load 1
  run1		6.27		9.14		9.42		10.52

Load 2
  run1		3.29		4.42		3.40		3.45
  run2		3.28		4.37		3.39		3.45

Load 3
  run1		4.42		8.39		18.26


short summary:

	2.4 is faster.
