Subject: VM tests on 2.4.14-pre3 and 2.4.13-ac3
Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2001 00:49:34 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011028004934.A22539@earthlink.net> (raw)


Summary:

2.4.14-pre3		The greased weasel is back
2.4.13-ac3		Inconsistent results on mtest01
2.4.13-ac3-freeswap	patch for 2.4.12-ac3 makes results consistent in mtest01

Test:	Run mtest01 and mmap001 from Linux Test Project.  
	Listen to long running (50+ minutes) mp3 sampled at 128k.

Default kernel parameters.

Light interactive use: lynx, 2 bitchx (console IRC client) sessions,
vmstat 8, iostat -d 10.  (52k link to net - mostly idle).

2.4.13-pre3 had much better interactive response than 2.4.13-ac3
during these tests.  No X.

Hardware:
AMD 1333 Athlon
512 MB RAM
1024 MB swap
