Hi Andrea, OK, I tested your latest VM and I'm impressed :) I have a 64MB PPro box, and I tested a kernel compile. This isn't the BEST test, because it doesn't stress the VM much. So, I got almost exactly the same times (one or two seconds shorter out of 9m25s) as with Linus's test1-pre4. HOWEVER! It used NO swap! Here is the result of 'free' after I compiled:
total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 63548 52600 10948 31772 6176 24868 -/+ buffers/cache: 21556 41992 Swap: 34236 0 34236
test1-pre4, on the other hand, had used 10 Mb of swap by this point. BTW, I used these settings in both cases: telomere:~> cat /proc/sys/vm/pagecache 1 30 75 telomere:~> cat /proc/sys/vm/buffermem 1 20 60
I am going to test the actual pre4 now.
Oh, and I have a PPro box, libc6, EIDE (4MB/s media read/write time). -BenRI
