Re: Better performance with 2.6

[Darren Williams]

Hi albhaf

Look at the slab allocator, this is a cache
for commonly used objects in the kernel.

For more info see the original document:
The Slab Allocator:
An object caching kernel memory allocator
Jeff Bonwick

and

mm/slab.c

A quick google should turn up the correct paper.
