FolksThanks for this. I guess a purist would say that you need to run against the base kernel and base kernel plus your patches, but these numbers are certainly enough to support your conclusion.
I am attaching the benchmark results for Page Cache Implementation
using B-trees. I basically ran the tio (threaded i/o) benchmark

kernel shipped with FC5. Radix tree implementation is definately
better however the B-tree implementation did not suck that bad :)
Also I attaching a new patch which was used for measuring the
benchmarks. Also henceforth changes to the page will be tracked using
