It was I who contacted Balbir Singh (which subsequently commented here), Tim Gardner notes on the mailing list:
"Actually, I was messing with this feature independently this morning. I think our initial performance impact assumptions were a bit pessimistic." Does that mean that there never was a performance impact as initially suggested, it was just assumed to exist. I.e. this was always a non-issue. I'm not looking for someone to blame, just wondering if this needs to be followed up with upstream. And whether running a kernel with CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT=y and without nodelayacct actually has a performance impact that users of Ubuntu might be concerned about in some odd cases. Thanks. 1. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-June/011240.html -- Please enable CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493156 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
