Dear list members, I hope that some of you compared 0.2.5.10 with 0.2.6.x regarding the performance (ticket 9682). How big/small is the difference in the wild ? I would appreciate it if someone with Linux / BSD could say a few words ;-)
Hi Sebastian,As far as I can tell the change happened between 0.2.6.2 and 0.2.6.3 so I'll describe the performance difference between those.
Just had a look on a server of mine that is bottlenecked by the CPU. I noticed that there was indeed a big drop in CPU usage. However, there was also a similar drop in network usage, most likely caused by the restart. It took about a week to fully recover to normal levels.
It is incredibly hard to tell from the data whether there was a big performance difference as a direct result of the 0.2.6.2->0.2.6.3 upgrade. It's definitely not going to be a 10% improvement, as far as I can tell.
Despite my nodes all running with 'NumCPUs 2', none of the worker queues seem to be doing much :
$ ps H -o etime,time,args -u toranon | grep node2 3-01:46:17 1-20:35:33 /usr/bin/tor -f /etc/tor/torrc-node2 3-01:46:13 00:17:09 /usr/bin/tor -f /etc/tor/torrc-node2 3-01:46:13 00:17:09 /usr/bin/tor -f /etc/tor/torrc-node2If those threads are what the patch addressed, I'm afraid it's not going to have a massive impact.
In case it's relevant: these measurements are taken from an exit relay with two processes each doing ~150Mbit/s (x2 if you count up+down).
