I searched this list and the dev list using "lmw" as search key and it didn't turn up anything relevant. > What did you use for a benchmark program? I hacked my own. I just executed clear_page() in userspace a few times with and without lmw and measured time with gettimeofday(). Not a very good test but since the difference is so big, I don't think futher tests are needed. > You should also be reading the linuxppc-dev > list, as there are many things like this discussed there.

I can't find much in the lists. Jocke ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
