Ah I see now. At the time Linus reported his issue, I had the feeling his usecase was a bit "extreme", but I actually have no idea how far perf can be used given that I'm mostly used to short benchmarks, typically hackbench, perf bench sched messaging et al. Thing is I don't use it enough for my real usecases :) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
