People lost their shit when Spectre mitigations added 20% overhead to kernel calls though. Why wouldn't they do the same for microkernel overhead?

- floxy 2mo agoIf people really cared about performance, we'd be doing something other than the bloated way we have been doing things. https://winworldpc.com/product/qnx/144mb-demo https://winworldpc.com/product/qnx/144mb-demo
- pjmlp 2mo agoThe same people are perfectly fine with Electron crap all over the place, they don't really care about overhead.
- lanstin 2mo agoNot true in a data center - 20% less work for same CPU is like 25% more cores needed for any applications where the scaling is driven by CPU utilization. That is $ - and people have made things so far from efficient many medium size companies have 100k cores to pay for.
