Did you try running the benchmark with something else running at the same time to see if there is any advantage in trashing the caches a bit less (simple case, what happens if you run two instances of the same benchmark at once)? > > I suspect that you’re about right anyway - I recently did some tests while playing with JavaScript FFI generation with a multithreaded process JavaScript environment calling out to OpenSSL to do SHA calculations and having each of 8 threads reading in 128KB chunks gave the fastest performance (Core i7, 4 cores + hyperthreading), with only a negligible gain over 64KB. In all cases, the JavaScript implementation was significantly faster than the openssl tool, which used 8KB buffers. > Hi, You should also try this using an USB disk. The performance numbers heavily depends on the hardware's interrupt moderation values. --HPS
