SubjectHyperthreading performance oddities
Hi all,

I would like to be personally CC'ed the answers/comments posted to the
list in response to my posting.

I have following CPU
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 4
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
stepping : 1
cpu MHz : 3000.000
cache size : 1024 KB

on 2.6.17 everything works as I expect. My Mandriva distribution
standard has a 2.6.22.9 kernel which performed bad, numbers follow,
installed a fresh 2.6.24.2 kernel also performed bad, so I installed
2.6.17 and everything works OK.
I have some benchmarks from mplayer:
Kernel 2.6.22.9 smp hyperthreading
BENCHMARKs: VC: 334.042s VO: 0.053s A: 0.000s Sys: 4.049s = 338.143s
Kernel 2.6.22.9 nonsmp/hyperthreading
BENCHMARKs: VC: 262.008s VO: 0.031s A: 0.000s Sys: 3.528s = 265.567s
with 2.6.17 kernel smp/hyperthreading pentium-pro as CPU
BENCHMARKs: VC: 245.175s VO: 0.050s A: 0.000s Sys: 2.479s = 247.704s
with 2.6.17 kernel smp/hyperthreading pentium4 optimized kernel
BENCHMARKs: VC: 227.992s VO: 0.051s A: 0.000s Sys: 2.551s = 230.594s

The 2.6.24.2 kernel had results as the 2.6.22.9 version

Regards Henk Schoneveld
