Hi
        I have just running a couple of benchmarks, with the two last
patchs that I sent to the list:

http://carpanta.dc.fi.udc.es/~quintela/kernel/2.4.0-test8-pre6/ext2_lock_super_05.patch
http://carpanta.dc.fi.udc.es/~quintela/kernel/2.4.0-test8-pre6/ext2_delayed_balance_dirty_03.patch

Without the two patches I obtain the following times running dbench 48
It gives me results in the order:

Throughput 7.24267 MB/sec (NB=9.05333 MB/sec  72.4267 MBit/sec)

real    14m35.883s
user    0m50.570s
sys     1m18.020s

(all between 5-8 MB/sec)

When I applied the two patches, I get a first run very fast:

Throughput 17.0279 MB/sec (NB=21.2848 MB/sec  170.279 MBit/sec)

real    6m13.281s
user    0m50.190s
sys     1m14.700s

Bat the next ones get the same speed than before.  This is not only
with test8-pre6, it happens at least form test4 (when I begin to
test), and I haven't seen able to find what is the problem, why I am
not able to get the same speed _always_.

My configurtion is:

SMP Celeron 466
128MB RAM
hda: FUJITSU MPE3084AE, ATA DISK drive
hda: 16514064 sectors (8455 MB) w/512KiB Cache, CHS=1027/255/63, UDMA(33)

(yes the disk is not an _state of the art_ disk, it appears that if
you have faster disks stalls and that problems happen less frequently).

Any comment, sugestion is welcome.

Later, Juan.
