This is across two different systems.
The first one didn't have a very large difference in average (20ms)
KRK No patch
Suspend 235.6862
Resume 2220.3976
KRK patch
Suspend 233.3544
Resume 2202.199
The second one had about a 15% drop in average suspend time; but I think
I suspect this isn't a big enough data sample. I say that because both
sides had one cycle take longer than the rest on avearge.
STX nopatch
Suspend 774.39638
Resume 1893.5252
STX patch
Suspend 651.9756
Resume 1895.725
If I exclude that long cycle on both (so average of 4) the drop is 10%
STX No patch
Suspend 319.353725
Resume 2256.0025
STX patch
Suspend 292.482
Resume 2257.27
I'm personally thinking 5 cycles isn't enough for showing "real" gains
are there.
Probably need a much larger sample size to get statistically relevant
numbers.
