SubjectOdd benchmark results ... 62 vs -mm vs -mjb
The usual 16x NUMA-Q system ... this is all cache warm out of pagecache, so
I don't see why AS would make a difference. -mm and -mjb are fairly
consistent (as I'd expect) except for kernbench -j256 (the middle one)
where you somehow do dramtically better (on systime especially). These are
the averages of 5 runs, and they only move by a second or two of systime,
so I don't think it's experimental error. I ran SDET as well, but it wasn't
very interesting.

diffprofile 2.5.63-mm2 2.5.63-mjb2 (both have objrmap + fixes)
(+ gets worse going from -mm to -mjb, - better) for -j256.

OK, so who killed .text.lock.file_table? and how? ;-)

If I do a "-j" instead (infinte tasks), it looks boringly similar
from the results, but the profiles tell a different story:

BTW, I have your "atime" patch you sent me in -mjb2, and fstab is:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump>
<pass>
/dev/sda2 / ext2 defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro
0 1
/dev/sdd1 /home/mbligh ext3 defaults,noatime 0
2
proc /proc proc defaults 0
0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0
0
ramfs /ram ramfs defaults 0
2
