2003sp1 iperf throughput went from 150mbit/second without the patch to
950mbit/second with the patch
Surprisingly, the AMD TPR write patch under 2003sp2 increases iperf
throughput from 1Gbit/second (without the patch) to 1.5Gbit/second
(patched). I guess this makes sense - 2003sp2 includes 'lazy write', but
the AMD patch optimises the write operation itself.
Is there such a facility available under Intel CPU's, other than the
latest 'flex priority' stuff which I am about to read up on?
Thanks
James
