It sounds like databases on very fast storage will be updated. Tons of syscalls made for disk io and network io.

- lmm 9y agoDatabases are already written to minimise syscalls, like any other heavily performance-tuned system.
- amadvance 9y agoApplications that already put an effort to minimize syscalls are the ones that most likely depend on syscalls performance.
- lmm 9y agoUnlikely. It's relatively easy to get to the point where syscalls aren't the bottleneck by a long margin, so the only apps where syscalls are the bottleneck will be those that haven't put in any optimisation effort.
