From ff91691bccdb741efb2df0489058a4961fa79598 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 00:53:51 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] sched: avoid div in rebalance_tick Avoid expensive integer divide 3 times per CPU per tick. A userspace test of this loop went from 26ns, down to 19ns on a G5; and from 123ns down to 28ns on a P3. (Also avoid a variable bit shift, as suggested by Alan. The effect of this wasn't noticable on the CPUs I tested with).
