Just got some fresh numbers on my desktop running 5.8-rc1 + slab controller v6.
It's 8-cores Ryzen 1700 with 32 GB RAM running Fedora 32.
I measured the size of slab memory just after logging into the system.
SLUB SLAB
Original: 463232 kB 312880 kB
Patched: 194840 kB 193392 kB
-58% -38%
Plus perpcu memory usage is also a bit lower.
Thanks!
