    [PATCH] Tweak VM dirty thresholds · b7d1200e
    Andrew Morton authored
    The below patch on 2.5.12 takes the 'dbench 32' throughput on a
    1024 megabyte machine from 35 megs/sec up to 125 megs/sec.
    That's on the second run.  The first run is much slower because
    the ext2 bitmaps aren't in cache.
    
    Presumably, s/60/80/ will take it even higher.
