what am i to see on the linked page? there are some comments from the discussion the OP refers to and they are talking about strace and semaphore related kernel parameters and SCO has one syscall multiplexing functions with an extra argument while linux has two syscalls, using the multiplexing of the normal call path. how is this going to enlighten me? what is special about 2.6.18 that you need exactly this version tested and why don't you publish your own results but wait for others? why do you say 'not good enough', for who? why? what is better?
btw., both of you describe the machine with the speed difference just as XEON. xeon is just a general name for intel cpus like pentium, since the pentium II the server versions of the cpu with more cache and cores are called xeon. which architecture are you talking about and at what speed? have you benchmarked other syscalls? are there differences in the code paths (assembly code, handling inside kernel)? what about SCO on a system similar to the other systems, not only the ominous XEON?
