It's not a one minute run. (more or less like a 5 hour exercise. Benchmark run time along is 3+ hours). -mm has so many stuff, I'm not sure we would have the bandwidth to do a search on which patch trigger N% regression, etc. Let me try the base kernel first and if resources are available, I can attempt to do it on -mm tree. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
