Hi Jeff,
I had just made a backup - and thought I'd give your patch a
whirl on my little Dual PII 600Mhz / 1GB Ram.
Done overnight :
- Multiple buildkernel and buildworld with -j 4, -j 6 and -j 10
- a few installkernel (and reboot) as well as one installworld.
- an incremental Backup with Bacula while buildworld was running.
No incidents.
I have not done any performance testing, not verified if there is
indeed less contention on the Giant Lock - subjectively it appears
that Giant shows in top much less than before .. but obviously
that is not really representative.
Thanks a lot & keep up the good work !
Pascal
