I was a fan of WLI's patchset until he discontinued it in the 2.6.0-test era. They were a small set of patches with performance improvements for laptops and NUMA machines amongst others... (wish I had a laptop NUMA machine *cough*). Some of those patches are now in the kernel proper. Some others have been updated and are found elsewhere, like the objrmap series can be found in Andrea Archangeli's -aa series. I'm starting to add some of the other patches from WLI's last release, depending on my abolity to resolve rejections. The numbers relate directly to those from linux-2.6.0-test11-wli-1.tar.bz2 Patches were applied in the following order: - Con Kolivas' new starcase cpu scheduler patch 5.2 - Jens Axboe's cfq io scheduler - Andrea Archangeli's 2.6.5-rc3-aa2.bz2 < from linux-2.6.0-test11-wli-1 > - #17 convert copy_strings() to use kmap_atomic() instead of kmap() - #19 node-local i386 per_cpu areas - #22 increase static vfs hashtable and VM array sizes - #24 /proc/ BKL gunk plus page wait hashtable sizing adjustment - #25 invalidate_inodes() speedup Linqs: http://www.users.on.net/sutera/2.6.5-rc3-as1.patch.gz http://www.users.on.net/sutera/2.6.5-rc3-as1.patch.gz.sign Note that to use the cfq scheduler to need to add "elevator=cfq" to your kernel command line. This is usually done in your lilo or grub (or equivalent) config. -- - Antony Suter (sutera internode on net) "Bonta" - "...through shadows falling, out of memory and time..."
