We did have a distro kernel in the graph originally and later decided to go with pure mainline kernels for consistency. We will see what we can do to add them in the future. > Also how did you run netperf? Locally or to some other machine? > Perhaps that should be documented. Yes, that was netperf, running locally. Thanks for the suggestion, I will document that appropriately. > Some oprofile listings from a few of the test runs would be also nice. That is in the works. We will upload profile data. I'm having problem with oprofile on some versions of kernel and that is being investigated right now. - Ken
