No, I didn't. If you start swaping, the cpu stress point is missed, because you get into the disk i/o stress point. The system will become unresponsive for a different reason and you can't see if the new scheduler is working slow because the patch doesn't work or because it is waiting for the disk.
i agree i did the same -j64 compile and compile firefox too at the same time and the system was very responsive. until it eventually ended up freezing the system. and i still see my system get unresponsive under stress at times like if i was running 2 virtual machines and i only have <100Mb memory left,etc... this is not a patch that will make your system responsive in any condition. but it does make it responsive when the cpu is under lots of stress. this is specially useful for multi-threaded applications like if you were encoding video and playing your favorite 3d game and downloading a bunch of videos/software at the same time(provided you have adequate memory/swap). i think it is mainly targeted for desktop responsiveness but i can imagine how it might be useful on servers with high-load . -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
