However, I seem to recall that a chap named Antony was working on providing statistics on just how much slower the system would run with page-level granularity. I _think_ he provided full LMBench numbers, but I'm not great at reading those numbers. (If he wanted to post a 'make summary' output from lmbench, I might stand a better chance of understanding the impact. :) In any event, this is all from memory, so don't read too much into it. :) -- http://www.wirex.com/
