Brian (and any list members that might be interested):
I've ported ReCache to Linux, and tested it out. Oddly enough, it didn't help.
I'm not sure if I've ported the spawnl() call in a wrong way (I'm doing a
fork() and then an exec()), but it certainly doesn't help (the iteration
time goes up from 0.201 to 0.203 secs). Perhaps the Linux MM is better than
Windows after all.
What _does_ help, however, is killing everything (by going to a different
runlevel) and starting again (by going back). This is a bit surprising; I
thought this kind of thing was reserved Windows users. (The iteration time
is still at 0.201 secs, but it is in fact needed to get maximum speed back
after running ReCache.)
Result: I don't have any clue about what's going on.
