VGER news
Matti Aarnio
folks at RedHat have installed it into co-location facility
with 1000Mbps network connection into the machine.
This update got considerable performance increase into the
machine for our list loads. In terms of Bogomips around 7-8,
but for actual loads nearly twice as much.
We did system switchover last weekend, and nobody reacted trulu
adversely. Probably nobody noticed it either. :-)

Ah, that's the reason why commit messages are now sent from
git-commits...@vger.kernel.org instead of from
bk-commits...@vger.kernel.org like they were until
Friday ?

May 24 2004 on kernel.org:
ISC has upgraded our outbound connection to 1000 Mbit/s. Thanks!
So you have 2000 Mbps now?

Wow, that's a lot of bogomips. That's just a little faster than my 386
(running 2.6.13-rc1): http://jengelh.hopto.org/GFX0/proc386.jpg

Or were you missing a 'k' suffix in the bogo number <grin> + ;-)

It's definitely faster. Lately I have had a few replies to list
messages where the reply hit LKML several minutes before my inbox. This
*never* happened before the changeover.

That's www and ftp.kernel.org, the archive server.

No, this time vger.kernel.org (the mailing list server) got an 1000
Mbit/s connection.

Matti is talking about an increase, which implies a difference.

That is probably something else.
Davem may have changed list name at this time as well.

Different location, different services.

In "absolute" terms about 5600 BogoMips, although all bogos are
not quite the same... (E.g. Coppermine -> Xeon gives a bit
more difference than just bogos would imply.)

Yes, I did a s/bk-/git-/ on those list names last week
while I was in the UK due to popular request.

Would dhry- and whetstones be more accurate across CPUs?

OK, I better understand now why the message I posted this morning
from mutt on tty1 was already caught by the other mutt when I switched
to tty2 to check other messages on the list. I can imagine that from
now, we'll get a very good interactivity again.
Thanks,
Willy
