Sorry it took a few days... So I'm testing throughput for the full pagecache lifecycle, insertion to reclaim. Reading from a sparse file much bigger than memory. On my 2 socket, 8 core Opteron setup: Single dd from a single file: vanilla: 687.01MB/s patched: 1037.17MB/s (151%) 8 dds from a single file: vanilla: 1458.04MB/s patched: 5898.65MB/s (405%) Not sure how well that translates to real world workloads, but it might help somewhere. Admittedly some of the patches are pretty complex... Anyway, have a good christmas and new year :) Thanks, Nick
