| Description | Large volumes of segment descriptors are causing noticeable overhead (see job003701 and job003812). |
| Analysis | Segment descriptors form the majority of the objects allocated in the arena's control pool. But these come in only a small number of sizes (one or two per pool class), so could be more efficiently managed via MFS. Alternatively, try allocating the segment descriptors in MVFF. (With the eventual goal of replacing the control pool with MVFF). Try these solutions and see which one is fastest. |
