My machine:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 106
stepping : 4
That's a SKYLAKE_X.
I ran
./tools/perf/perf stat --repeat 5 --sync --pre=/root/bin/pre-build-kernel.sh -- make -s -j96 bzImage
on -rc6, building allmodconfig each of the 10 times.
pre-build-kernel.sh is
---
#!/bin/bash
make -s clean
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
---
Results are below but to me that's all "in the noise" with around one
percent if I can trust the stddev. Which is not even close to 40%.
So basically you're wasting your time.
