I know that Dhrystone isn't a very good benchmark, but it's still interesting: https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain/Benchmarks/Dhrystone If we can get twice the performance out of strcpy() and memcpy() then the Dhrystone result should go up by almost 30 %. It would make a nice headlin

apr/eglibc issue with shared mutexes

2010-08-17 Thread Loïc Minier
Hi I'm concerned that the workaround for apr was just uploaded in the form of disabling process shared mutexes (see LP #599874), but we didn't address or investigate the root cause in eglibc. Would someone be able to look at LP #604753 where the issue is tracked? Thanks! -- Loïc
