This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!) avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long. Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been insane otherwise.

Introduction

|
|
The purpose of this paper is to describe the tools and techniques
|
|
that are available for improving the performance of the kernel.
|
|
The primary tool used to measure the kernel is the hierarchical
|
|
profiler \fIgprof\fP.
|
|
The profiler enables the user to measure the cost of
|
|
the abstractions that the kernel provides to the user.
|
|
Once the expensive abstractions are identified,
|
|
optimizations are postulated to help improve their performance.
|
|
These optimizations are each individually
|
|
verified to insure that they are producing a measurable improvement.
