Using a 3.1.0-rc4+ kernel on a Pandaboard, and running 'hdparm -t' on a usb disk drive, I see ~5.8MB/s read speed. Same kernel, but passing nosmp on the commandline, I see 20.3MB/s. Can someone explain why nosmp would make such a difference? --Mark -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
