Hmm, someone is misreading the results.
I've reread multiple times, and I see a difference of 12s, not .12s.
---> real 0m12.645s
---> user 0m0.003s
---> sys 0m0.159s
And 12 seconds (elapsed, with 0.159s system) means 12s/5000=2.4ms
which could only be explained with the auditing system doing fsync
calls on its log files.
You're right, I was going from memory and I did not remember it being 12
seconds, I thought it was .12 seconds. This most certainly is not just
the effects of loading cache. A 12 second cache load would only happen
if you are loading from stone tablet...
