If you were suggesting this to be run on an SMP system, I would agree
with you. I, too, would very much like to see these results run on a

barrel, I would say!
No, I'm suggesting that you and other folks understand the basic ideas
behind this patch and stop asking unbelievably stupid questions. This has
been covered over and over again, and I shouldn't have to repeat these
positions constantly because folks have both a language comprehension
problem and inability to bug off appropriately.
The reasons you have to repeat yourself are (a) you lack communications
skills and expect people to read past your insults, (b) you're just
technically wrong in some cases, such as saying that the results would
be different if the kernel were compiled in an unrealistic way.
However, on a UP system, I have to agree with Kristian's choice of
configuration. An embedded system developer running on a UP system would
naturally use a UP Linux kernel build, so it makes sense to benchmark
a UP kernel on a UP system.
Dual cores are going to be standard in the next few years so RTOSs should
anticipate these things coming down the pipeline.

I doubt that single core CPUs are going to vanish, there are too many
power critical (heat critical) embedded applications. In many the
response time is important but the total CPU capability isn't an issue
while battery life or fanless operation is.
Your point that SMP operation is important is true, but I see no reason
to think Ingo has missed that.
