Hmm, nothing immediately jumps out as low-hanging fruit to be harvested. It's not too surprising the 200+-line cake_dequeue() is where most time is spent, since that is where the bulk of the algorithm is implemented. And, well, there's nothing in there that can obviously be removed unless we want to drop features. I guess one could try to make it possible to disable features at compile time; but that carries quite a bit of complexity with it (for one, it needs testing with the combinatorial explosion of possible configurations), so don't think it's realistic. The only exception *might* be a compile time option to turn off those stats that are not needed for the algorithm to run... -Toke _______________________________________________ Cake mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cake
