I just checked in a fix for a mistake I made in my previous interrupt change wrt. taking the kernel lock. This was likely your problem too, so updating should fix it for you. - Frank -- -- Frank van der Linden fvdl <at> wasabisystems.com ============================================================================== Quality NetBSD Development, Support & Service. http://www.wasabisystems.com/
. Here's some description on how
it performs well, how it works, how you can install it on your machine,
etc.
Benchmark
*********
A simple benchmark result with execloop shows that ld.elf_so loads
execloop in 30% less time. It was done on an Athlon XP 1800+/256MB DDR
machine.
$ time ./execloop 9999
w/o RelCache w/ RelCache
5.184s 3.623s
For comparison, statically linked execloop took 0.967s. (Note: NetBSD's
fork/exec path for dynamically linked binary is rather unoptimized and
needs to be addressed.)
I expect much more gain with running Mozilla/KDE/GNOME with RelCache, but
haven't had time to do that myself.
Stability
*********
For normal, non-RelCached binaries, ld.elf_so works as stable as the current
