I believe you misunderstood me. I was referring to cpu caches ( dcache & icache ) > All debugging is turned off, and I'm not using SLUB but SLOB. > I have 32Mbytes of RAM. Would SLUB be more performant than SLOB ? I never used SLOB I cannot comment Please provide (on 3.4.7) cat /proc/cpuinfo lsmod dmesg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
