Hi, Today I have tested sysenter sycall vs int0x80 syscall, I have done the work several monthes ago, now I have imported it into perforce, the branch name is davidxu_sysenter. Here are some benchmark results: 1. pure geteuid() syscall: x int80_syscall.txt + sysenter_syscall.txt +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | + | | x + | | xxx ++ | |x x xxxx + + ++++ | | |_A_| |___A_M_|| +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ N Min Max Median Avg Stddev x 10 2390403 2562187 2525720 2508262.9 53926.058 + 10 3855570 4169162 4139662 4103079.4 95933.507 Difference at 95.0% confidence 1.59482e+06 +/- 73117.4 63.5825% +/- 2.91506% (Student's t, pooled s = 77817.9) 2. mysql super-smack: x mysql_int80.txt + mysql_sysenter.txt +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | x + | | x + + | | x xx + +++ | |x x xxxx x x x x + + +++++ +| | |______MA________| |___A___| | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ N Min Max Median Avg Stddev x 15 19212.09 19911.76 19417.23 19449.863 165.25167 + 15 20250.48 20603.26 20408.12 20411.395 76.260797 Difference at 95.0% confidence 961.531 +/- 96.2398 4.94364% +/- 0.494809% (Student's t, pooled s = 128.693) Hardware is dual-core Pentium-D. I thought sysenter is useless as I said on dragonflybsd mail list, but the fact is a little different here, so I was wrong. David Xu
