Hi,
after updating from Linux 2.0.30 to 2.0.31 I did a performance test
(with the lantest program from www.helios.de):
With traditional AppleShare, reading from the server is faster with the
new kernel while writing has become slower
Linux Read Write (Mac IIci with 7.5.3)
2.0.30 360 310
2.0.31 525 275
with AppleShare/IP the overall performance is slower
Linux Read Write (Performa 5300 with 7.6.1 & OT 1.2)
2.0.30 970 870
2.0.31 950 750
Well, besides the changes to ddp.c there is a lot different in the
aic7xxx driver (I'm using the 2940 Controller), but from tests with
"hdparm -t" and copying big chunks of data with "dd" I cannot state
that the new driver is basically slower...
Maybe some other users can post their experiences.
