Linux Set for Major Performance Boost with Kernel Swap Overhaul
A new patch series for the Linux kernel introduces a 'Swap Table' to improve swap management, resulting in significant performance gains such as up to 20% faster throughput and improved build times, with positive results across various workloads and benchmarks. The overhaul aims to make swap management more efficient, future-proof, and easier to extend, with hopes of upstreaming into the mainline kernel.
