1) filesystem I/O performance SCREAMS. 128 MB sequential write + fsync (on 32 MB RAM) now runs at 5.9 MB/sec vs. 5.7 in 1.3.83. Read performance is now 6.1 vs. 5.4. What's more, the CPU time is now about 4 seconds (vs. 7 before). Looks to me like a copy has been eliminated.
2) PPP performance is down. Yup, you read me right. Connected at 28.8, I'm now getting about 9 KB/sec (vs. 10) for a perfectly compressible file, and 2.4 (vs. 3.0) for a .gz file. This is to a Solaris 2.3 host. Linus, you tired of us screwing with your head or something?
