jejb was wondering if 4k pages would cause different behaviors becuase of file system vs page size (4k vs 16k). ia64 uses 16k by default. I've rebuilt the kernel with 4k page size and VMERGE != 0. The substantially worse performance feels like a rat hole because of 4x pressure on CPU TLB.
Ideally, we need a workload to test BIO code without a file system. Any suggestions?
