raw device and linux scheduling performance weirdness

Hi, I ran some really trivial raw disk performance tests on 2.4.0 using the raw disk support in it. I seem to be getting some really strange performance results. My program opens up a raw device, then does a sequence of sequential/random reads/writes on the raw device using pread/pwrite. I put

Hmm, I seem to have missed the changelog posting for ac17. However, I noticed that the overclocked CPU detection code was dropped between ac16 and ac17. Since the changelog did not mention it - was the feature dropped intentionally, and if so, why? Holger - To unsubscribe from this list: send
