I ran another benchmark today.
I choice dbench because dbench is one of most famous and real workload like i/o benchmark.


% dbench client.txt 4000

mainline:  Throughput 13.4231 MB/sec  4000 clients  4000 procs  max_latency=1421988.159 ms
mmotm(*):  Throughput  7.0354 MB/sec  4000 clients  4000 procs  max_latency=2369213.380 ms

(*) mmotm 2/Oct + Hugh's recently slub fix


Wow!
mmotm is slower than mainline largely (about half performance).

Therefore, I mesured it on "mainline + split-lru(only)" build.


mainline + split-lru(only): Throughput 14.4062 MB/sec  4000 clients  4000 procs  max_latency=1152231.896 ms


OK!
split-lru outperform mainline from viewpoint of both throughput and latency :)



However, I don't understand why this regression happend.
Do you have any suggestion?
