My appologies for the huge delay in responding. I finally finished testing my batch of kernels and I can confirm your results - load is still low on tickless kernels. I have tested the 2.6.32 and 2.6.37 vanilla kernels with combinations of CONFIG_NO_HZ set to 'y' and 'n'. Each kernel was compiled without any patches, with just 74f5187ac8 and finally with 74f5187ac8 and 0f004f5a69 applied. I have replied to your message to linux-kernel mailing list with a more detailed description of my findings. I hope it will pique someone's interest. -- Lesław Kopeć
