Andrew and Martin,
I ran this updated patch on 2.5.25 with dbench on
the 8-way with 4 Gb of memory compared to clean 2.5.25.
I saw a significant improvement in throughput about 15%
(averaged over 5 runs each).
Included is the pretty picture (akpm-2525.png) the
data that picture came from (akpm-2525.data) and the raw
results of the runs with min/max and timing results
(2525akpmkmaphi and 2525clnhi).
I believe the drop at around 64 clients is caused by
memory swapping leading to increased disk accesses since the
time increased by 200% in direct correlation with the decreased
throughput.
