yeh... it doesn't always give a performance boosts on IOOriginally Posted by lly
I guess the effect will be minimal. Some days I included epoll patch since some people ask me to do that. Unfortunately, nobody done performance tests (including people who promise that to me), and I ever not sure that epoll working 100% correctly
So, without serious reasons or any performance tests on our platform (not on x86!), I don't want to include aio into firmware.
P.S. There is no aio support for our platform in uClibc 0.9.29
but the idea that it lowers the cpu usage, wich comes quite handy, or at least giving other processes processor time so that the cpu is used better is quite a good thing. Especially when you consider that most routers here use swap (wich is io) to have enough memory, this might actually work even if it's only working for the cpu performance.
yeh, it's still theory
You don't mind if I try to program a good patch for olegs I hope?
maybe my c programming skillzz are good enough already
