saisuman LQ Newbie Registered: Jan 2004 Posts: 1 Rep:	What are typical buffer manager I/O overheads? Dear All: I was reading Stonebraker's paper on Operating System support for databases, and came across a statistic - "For a PDP-11 UNIX system, it takes the buffer manager 5000 CPU instructions to fetch a 512 byte block from disk, and about 1800 to fetch a single byte." Does anyone have an idea as to similar statistics for contemporary Linux/UNIX systems? -Regards and Thanks, Suman.
