I just noticed something fun with these numbers.
Without the patch, the system (a quad core CPU) is 10% idle.
With the patch, it is 66% idle - presumably I need Nick's
mmap_sem patch.
However, despite being 66% idle, the test still runs over
3 times as fast!
Please quote the context switch rate when testing this stuff (I use vmstat 1).
I've seen it vary by a factor of 10,000 depending upon what's happening.
About context switches 14000 per second.
I'll go compile in Nick's patch to see if that makes
things go faster. I expect it will.

Politics is the struggle between those who want to make their country
the best in the world, and those who believe it already is. Each group
calls the other unpatriotic.
