Venkatesh,
I ran a quick test on one of my machines. I used the LD_PRELOAD
I ran with 10,000 calls 1-1000 blocks, it shaved ~21 seconds off the the
time.
The system is a AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ (1493.66-MHz) / with 512megs of
ram).
I tried with your 50,000 and 1-1,512 block size, but the system ran out
of memory/swap and the utility died.
Pre -
dylan@backup_a:~/malloc$ ./sh6bench
call count [1000]: 10000
min block size [1]: 1
max block size [1000]:
Total elapsed time: 52.00 (51.5938 CPU)
