Are you all aware that there was a slight drop in performance in going from pre3 to pre5?

We seem to be seeing that both reiserfs and ext2 got slower in pre5, suggesting
that something in VFS may need inspection.

Since I usually am eager to learn of any performance losses in code I write, I
have forwarded this to linux-kernel on the assumption that others are the same.

Anyone know the reason for this offhand?

Hi !

Dbench results :

                     NEW OLD
              linux-2.3.99-pre5 linux-2.3.99-pre3
# dbench 5
reiserfs-3.6.4 : 33.6730 MB/sec 32.6549 MB/sec
ext2 : 30.2088 MB/sec 28.1817 MB/sec

# dbench 10
reiserfs-3.6.4 : 24.3463 MB/sec 25.4903 MB/sec
ext2 : 19.0197 MB/sec 19.6588 MB/sec

# dbench 20
reiserfs-3.6.4 : 15.8885 MB/sec 17.5582 MB/sec
ext2 : 12.8872 MB/sec 14.2822 MB/sec

# dbench 50
reiserfs-3.6.4 : 5.74655 MB/sec 5.80893 MB/sec
ext2 : 4.98903 MB/sec 5.02426 MB/sec

Dual Celeron-500, 128 MB RAM, 8 GB scsi HDD

New results for pre5 are a bit worse for reiserfs and for ext2 too.
Reiserfs faster in both cases.

Best,
Yura.
