It is also one of the hardest things to measurein a reliable and deterministic fashion. Wall-clock timings onjust-booted, quiescent systems give unfeasibly large jitter makingoptimising cold-start times extremely difficult. Measures of warm vs. cold start show eg. 80% of an OO.o coldstart is pure I/O time. I/O grind is a new valgrind based tool thatcan record & simulate I/O patterns, allowing not only targetedoptimisation of applications, but deterministic comparisons of kernelI/O algorithms. Kernel optimisation is often focused on more tractableCPU cycles, however the big wins are in I/O behavior - saving only oneseek on cold OO.o startup, is the equivalent of a 500 cycle win onevery system call emitted.
