Sure, let me run a peak test, qd1 test, qd1+sqpoll test on
for-5.6/io_uring, same branch with 1-2, and same branch with 1-3. That
should give us a good comparison. One core used for all, and we're going
to be core speed bound for the performance in all cases on this setup.
So it'll be a good comparison.
