2.6.23 performance regression

2007-10-30 Thread Lorenzo Allegrucci
Hi, sorry if this is a faq but reading http://people.freebsd.org/~kris/scaling/7.0%20Preview.pdf (slides 17, 18) looks like 2.6.23 is having a performance regression on MySQL and PostgreSQL benchmarks. Has anyone investigated these? -- Lorenzo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line

It seems like lastest kernels cannot run lmbench successfully. lmbench stops at "Local networking", between lat_connect and bw_tcp, as far as I can see from 'top'. No errors reported, lat_connect or bw_tcp exit silently. All 2.4.0-test[5-11] seem to have this problem. 2.4.0-test1 and 2.2.x all
