Subject: slow down in 2.6 vs 2.4
Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2004 20:35:13 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040609033513.76754.qmail@web51807.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hello!

Over the last two days I have been struggling with
understanding why 2.6.x kernel is slower than
2.4.21/23 kernels.  I think I have a test case which
demostrates this issue.

I have downloaded gcc-3.4.0 and run with this config:
--enable-languages=c,c++ --prefix=/usr/tmp/foo

using gcc-3.2.3 and binutils-2.13.2.1, on IBM x335
w/2x 2.8G Xeon w/8G RAM, no ht[bios killed], using
local file system (XFS):

make times:

2.4.21:
323.68user 56.07system 6:35.77elapsed 95%CPU
(0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (3138783major+3818347minor)pagefaults

2.6.7-rc3-s63 (SPA scheduler):

Anything else needed? Is there something I can do to
try and understand this issue?

Thank you for your time.
