Random numbers for ASLRRandom numbers for ASLRPosted May 15, 2009 11:55 UTC (Fri) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091)In reply to: Random numbers for ASLR by nix Parent article: Random numbers for ASLR Linus wanted to speak about a small % instead of a big factor. Just from reading the article Ingo provided the answer: looking at the numbers in context we are talking about a 1% performance hit in fork(). If your system is completely CPU-bound and fork() takes half the CPU then your task will take 0.5% more to execute (seven extra minutes every day). I think it is quite acceptable for even a small increase in security.
