Does the difference in kernel an filesystem have any effect on the jumps you saw between the xeon and i5? Really curious about how the benchmarks comparing the two play out if the hardwares were both running Gentoo with 3.12 and ext4. (or the older kernel and xfs I guess...).
- pgaddict 12y agoGood point. For example the 9.2 changes were done after in-kernel lseek() optimizations, which improved the performance in some workloads. So yes, that might be a factor here (and I should have point that out in the post). I can't easily reinstall the OS on the Xeon machine (it's in a server room that I don't have direct access to), but installing an older kernel on the i5 machine should not be a problem. Hmmm, a nice topic for another benchmarking quest ;-)
