I've told you so before, and asked for numbers, and all you do is handwave. And this is like the *third*time*, and you don't even seem to admit that you're handwaving. So let's do it, but dammit: - make sure there aren't any invalid statements like this in the final commit message. - if somebody shows that you were wrong, and points to a real load, please never *ever* make excuses for this again, ok? Is that a deal? I hope we'll never need to hear about this again, but I really object to the way you've tried to "sell" this thing, by basically starting out dishonest about what the problem was, and even now I've yet to see a *single* performance number even though I've asked for them (except for the problem case, which was introduced by *you*) Linus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
