SLUB vs SLAB - Slab Allocator

Posted by Steven, 12-23-2009, 04:56 AM

Anyone using slub vs the default slab in the kernel? From the helps: Slab: Slub: I've been doing some tinkering with the kernel to get the best performance out of it. I have found SLUB to be helpful in servers that do a lot of apache. It's amazing to see load get cut in half if not more by using a tuned kernel (granted your not maxing the disk I/O).
