Re: [QUICKLIST 1/5] Quicklists for page table pages V4

From: Christoph Lameter

Here are the results of aim9 tests on x86_64. There are some minor performance
improvements and some fluctuations. Page size is only a fourth of that on
ia64 so the resulting benefit is less in terms of saved cacheline fetches.

The benefit is also likely higher on i386 because it can fit double the
page table entries into a page.
