That would be quite a fantastic reduction. Sorry was not able to do it since I was not able to figure out how to revert only the cpuset stuff (i.e. the only way I know to revert is cvs update -D "..." on the whole source tree and attempting to only do sched_ule.c lead to all kinds of nasty problems and panics)... if you would be willing to send me a patch to do it I will test it. That being said the savings seems to be genuine in that the port reinstall (almost all ports not rebuild caused a panic) is roughly 25% faster (the same improvenment reported in the world/kernel test)Received on Mon Mar 03 2008 - 07:21:00 UTC
