Hello Juergen, I noticed some speed increase on my home linux system with 2.2.15 kernel and I didn't notice any difference on my work linux system with the same kernel. I think it is because my home SMP linux box is running Reiser FS which is generally faster than ext2. For my home system I patched 2.2.15 kernel with stable release of ReiserFS ver. 3.5.18. For my work linux system I left kernel 2.2.15 as it was with default ext2 FS. Regards, Alex On Fri, 12 May 2000, juergen.braukmann@ruhr-west.de wrote:

Hello Linux folks, I've noticed a pretty interesting issue when I downloaded and compiled new 2.2.15 kernel. Old bogomips values on my home SMP PII-400 linux box were: CPU0 - 400.08 CPU1-399.89 with kernel 2.2.14 Old bogomips value on my work CentaurHauls C6 200MHz linux box was: 79.67 with kernel 2.2.14 New bogomips values on my home SMP PII-400 linux box are: CPU0 - 800.18 CPU1-799.97 with kernel 2.2.15 New bogomips value on my work CentaurHauls C6 200MHz linux box is: 79.67 with kernel 2.2.15 I didn't change kernel configurations in both these cases. Does it mean that kernel 2.2.15 was noticeably improved over 2.2.14 kernel? Thanks for any suggestions, Alex
Well, that limits my previous statement about bogo mips even to the same kernel level. Do you "feel" it's faster? I mean an improvement of factor 2 should be noticeable. I still state forget about bogo mips. Take a serious benchmark program.
