Lets say we have two machines with simplified memory status :
10 GB ram, 5 GB buffers & cache, 5 GB free completely.
10 GB ram, 1 GB buffers & cache (lets say you enforce those), 9 GB free completely.
A 64 bit program requests 8 GB of RAM.
How much latency difference is involved in both scenarios when request is made ?
Can someone from kernel programmer perspective say is memory fragmentation issue when dealing with extreme sizes ?
How much time is lost on traversing all those structures, see what to return etc ?
Thank you!
Regards
Peasant.

System.out.println("ls");
