Hmm.. Perhaps my 2.2.5 kernel was built before the change responsible for the increased latencies was committed. < .. > > > On a K6/233, VIA2 chipset: > lmbench-1.x "lat_udp localhost" > -------- > 2.2.5-2.2.6 about 85 > -current about 80 lmbench 1-x shows similar results to what I saw with hbench: 2.2.5 54 -current 65 > Other not very careful lmbench-2 tests show a 10% UDP time bloat in my > version of -current over the last 18 months: > > *Local* Communication latencies in microseconds - smaller is better > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > Host OS 2p/0K Pipe AF UDP RPC/ TCP RPC/ TCP > ctxsw UNIX UDP TCP conn > --------- ------------- ----- ----- ---- ----- ----- ----- ----- ---- > gamplex.b FreeBSD 2.2.6 9 34 41 85 155 91 199 351 > gamplex.b FreeBSD 3.0-C 14 30 32 71 161 79 202 575 > gamplex.b FreeBSD 3.0-C 13 28 31 70 75 190 653 > gamplex.b FreeBSD 3.0-C 7 26 33 79 91 207 > gamplex.b FreeBSD 3.0-C 7 27 34 74 83 209 > gamplex.b FreeBSD 3.0-C 7 29 34 78 85 207 > gamplex.b FreeBSD 3.0-C 7 26 35 85 80 211 > gamplex.b FreeBSD 3.0-C 8 27 35 88 79 > gamplex.b FreeBSD 3.0-C 5 25 36 75 161 77 217 > gamplex.b FreeBSD 3.0-C 7 27 36 82 176 85 216 > gamplex.b FreeBSD 3.0-C 6 27 35 80 82 210 > gamplex.b Linux 2.1.128 6 28 52 74 169 92 222 What are the differences between the many 'FreeBSD 3.0-C' entries? Is it is primarily the date their kernel sources were checked out? Do you have approximate dates?
