memory vs performancememory vs performancePosted Apr 5, 2012 20:21 UTC (Thu) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313)In reply to: memory vs performance by alankila Parent article: 2012 Linux Storage, Filesystem, and Memory Management Summit - Day 1
the problem is how can the system tell if the reads are needed because the data hasn't been available, or if they are wasteful because the data was available in the past (and then the question is how far in the past, in my case it was 24 hours + processing time, which is an eternity to the system)

I'm not suggesting this is an automatic scheme. I doubt it is even possible to design. I'm just suggesting that if you have an understanding of the behavior you can use this sort of metric to determine if the system is behaving poorly or well.

ahh, I misunderstood you. Yes, watching for this sort of thing is part of tuning the system.
