Linux Kernel Benchmarking: 2.4 vs. 2.6-test

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the number-crunching dept.

frooyo pastes from kerneltrap: "Cliff White recently posted some re-AIM multiuser benchmark results comparing the stable 2.4.23-pre5 kernel against the 2.6.0-test5 and 2.6.0-test5-mm4 development kernels. In his conclusion he makes reference to earlier scheduler tests posted by Mark Wong saying, "Short summary: we mostly rock.""

    I run 2.4.22 at work and 2.6.0-testX at home. The 2.6.0test(vanilla) series feel much more responsive, especially in X. I have not done any real benchmarks of my systems, but after working with 2.4 all day 2.6 seems to fly.

    Just my observation
