I'm pretty sure pphysch is correct. > Seriously, a simple google search or taking a minute to follow the first link in the article would have shown you that the patch set obviously came with a benchmark [1]. If you're referring to the table with headers "number xarray maple rhash rosebush", it's an estimate of memory usage, not a benchmark. And the author (Matthew Wilcox) says "I've assumed an average chain length of 10 for rhashtable in the above memory calculations", which folks questioned. So there's reason to doubt its correctness. > It’s someone posting a patch to the kernel mailing list, not some random kid on GitHub, there is no point assuming they are an idiot to try to shine. Let's just let the work speak rather than flagging the author as an idiot or genius...at present rosebush is unproven and based on questionable assumptions. That might change in future rounds.
