I have done a prelimiary test on harddrive speeds with delayacct disabled ( the new default after the atrocity of it being removed) and with it enabled...
The limted test script I created shows a clear winner: on average delayacct is faster enabled. I cannot explain this. I need someone else to verify the data. attached is all my data, how to enable delayacct, and a copypaste of the bash script i used for testing... (use time to measure the exact time to user/system/) ** Attachment added: "results--one--delayacct---results--delayacct-enabled-is-undeniably-faster--.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/493156/+attachment/3133712/+files/results--one--delayacct---results--delayacct-enabled-is-undeniably-faster--.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493156 Title: Please enable CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iotop/+bug/493156/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
