I just finished compiling and booting pre-patch-2.1.100-1 and my
memory 'rust' test script gives:
$ ./test-compile.sh
Test gcc compile times.
Linux version 2.1.100 (root@lorentz) (gcc version 2.8.1) #54 Mon May 4 17:28:52 EST 1998
gcc takes 38.36 seconds before 'find'
find /home/sys -print | wc --> find took 23.82 seconds
15521 15521 629697
gcc takes 120.58 seconds after 'find'
find /home/sys -print | wc --> find took 27.45 seconds
15521 15521 629697
gcc takes 96.97 seconds after 120 second wait
This single test appears to show a significant recovery effect after a
120 second wait.
The results summary now becomes:
kernel approx rusting effect
2.0.33 38 --> 30 (improves!)
2.1.96 37 --> 263
2.1.98 43 --> 284
2.1.99 36 --> 100
2.1.100-pre-1 38 --> 121
