Subject: [BENCHMARK AIM9] Regressions in 2.5.69

Hi all/Andrew/Martin,
I noticed regression in a few tests,
I deleted the results of tests that don't show differences between the two kernel version.

Hope it helps.

Ciao,
Paolo

I cannot repeat any of this. In fact 2.5.69-mm is a bit faster than
2.5.67.

I tested ext2 mainly. But a spot-check of creat-clo on reiserfs showed
no regression either.

Ok, thanks Andrew.
I dunno what happened during the test.
I'll try again to run the test with both the kernel.
I'll back to you if I'm able to reproduce those numbers.

Ciao,
Paolo
