This may be the wrong platform for this question, but after reading Rob
Landley's note on performance on Itanium and architecture concerns, I am
interested in Kernel hackers who have had to write code for Itanium's
comments on the same, if you are not bound by NDA's. Correct me if I am
wrong, but I thought I saw the announcement that Itanium is shipping. Have
you tested Itanium performance? We have an preproduction unit with quad
Itanium's. I have not had time to benchmark against other units, I am
interested in performance items. Feel free to drop me a line off list if
you can.
