I'm thru with bashing my head against the wall.
I do hope this post isn't in any way redundant, but from what I can see, this has never been suggested... (someone please do enlighten me if I'm wrong.) Has anyone tried booting a kernel with the various patches in question with a mem=###M boot flag (maybe mem=96M or some other "insanely low number" ?) to make the kernel think it has less memory than is physically available (and then compare to vanilla with the same flags)? It might more clearly demonstrate the effects of Con's patches when the kernel thinks (or knows) it has relatively little memory (since many critics, from what I can tell, have quite a bit of memory on their systems for their workloads). Just my two cents. -- ~Mike - Just the crazy copy cat. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
