Subject: LMbench results for 2.5.40
Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2002 00:08:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021001220853.GA20022@oscar.dorf.de> (raw)

Hallo,

these are LMbench results for 2.4.18 and 2.5.40 (two runs).
All results where obtained in single-user mode after a fresh
reboot.

2.5.40 was compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.

Could someone explain the results I marked with '???' ?
The ones under 'Local Communication Bandwidth'.

Patrick
