As you can see, there's something DEFINATELY wrong here =)


* NOTES:

The old test at the top with the old format are from contest 0.22, the new 
results seen below are 0.34.

 <conman_work> yes, but results from different versions of contest are 
incompatible

<ShawnCONSOLE> riel uses EXT3
<riel> my cpu is slower
<ShawnCONSOLE> but you have fast disks?
<riel> so it doesn't fall idle as quickly as yours, when waiting on the disk
<riel> not very fast ;)
<riel> old 8 GB IDE disk
<ShawnCONSOLE> so having a fast disk and a fast CPU causes the cpu to wait 
longer cause the disk finishes its tasks much faster then the cpu expects?
<ShawnCONSOLE> mem_load final test = 78%
<ShawnCONSOLE> so final numbers:
<ShawnCONSOLE> 99, 80%, 87%, 83%, 75%
<riel> yes, a very fast CPU falls idle more quickly
<riel> but it's very curious that ext3 is _that_ much worse than ext2
<ShawnCONSOLE> thats much better.
<riel> definately worth pointing out to the ext3 maintainers

Well I can't see what it is.

Please, try not to dump tons of raw numbers onto dazed onlookers.

There is great value in you performing the initial processing;
distilling useful information and the "means to reproduce" out
of the raw data.  The old human touch.

Ideally: just two numbers, and the barest, simplest way of
demonstrating the problem.

Sorry about the confusing email before. This should make more sense =)

These results compare EXT3 against EXT2 with rmap using the contest tool
you can get it at: http://contest.kolivas.net

These tests are from a Athlon MP 2000+ w/ 512MB RAM

NOTES:
====

As you can see, there's something DEFINATELY wrong here.  EXT3 is much slower
then EXT2. I converted the EXT3 disk back to EXT2 to do the second test.

Also, I specified no mount options for EXT3 (which means it uses ordered 
mode). The journal was created with tune2fs -j /dev/hda#

I don't see this as hugely surprising.  ext3 uses more CPU than ext2.
If you are using up the CPU doing other things, then naturally ext3
will take a longer wall-clock time to complete the same tasks as ext2.

I know that Andrew has been doing a bunch of work to reduce ext3 CPU
usage/locking/etc., but I think that is all in 2.5 kernels.

Cheers, Andreas

Yup.  But here the CPU load is less; obviously some more seeking
was done.  That's fairly normal for ext3 - it has to write the journal
as well as the filesystem....

I had a little patch.  Stephen is working on the big fix.

It passed an overnight Cerberus at the end of last week.  :-)
Checking into CVS shortly, then I need to set up a pile of recovery
tests to make sure it's still writing everything it needs to in time.

Which branch of the kernel is this going into? an -ac branch or 2.5 bk?

The way it usually goes is that Stephen checks it into ext3 CVS (based
off current Marcelo kernel) and I port it up to 2.5.

Ext3 CVS, but I'll also make a clean, broken-down patchset for
2.4.19 bk. 

In fact, the only reason it's not in ext3 cvs already is because it's
such a pain keeping discrete broken-down patches separate using a form
of SCM like bk or cvs; having decent scripts to track multiple patches
in a working source tree just works a lot better for one developer
when it comes to merging stuff upstream.

Cheers,
 Stephen
