Do control groups improve system performances?
- by qdii
According to this website, enabling cgroups in the kernel can boost performances by sharing resources in a better way. In particular, the conclusion states that:
Nevertheless, with a little trial and error, cgroups can help you
improve the efficiency of your systems’ resource usage and avoid
downtime due to overusage of a single service.
Kernel seeds, however, recommend to deactivate them altogether. They say:
Consider these [kernel] settings poison. They remain nothing but system slow-downs. They are all off by default [in the proposed kernel config file].
Who should I trust?
