Big performance drop with new v1.1.12 version

Performance has dropped by almost half with this version. Was there any perf tests done/is there a standard set of perf tests to verify that new versions are at least as good as previous one ?

AkihiroSuda commented

Needs more info.

make benchmark MTU=65520 on CI doesn’t seem so slow

Running this as part of a Docker rootless container with Rootlesskit using this as the storage driver. Docker pulls on 1.1.11 are twice as fast as those on 1.1.12. Maybe there is something added here affecting docker ?

AkihiroSuda commented

Please provide

  • full benchmark script (and result)
  • docker version
  • docker info
  • slirp4netns --version
  • rootlesskit --version

as the storage driver

Do you mean network driver? port driver?
Could you also provide the command line flags of the rootlesskit process? (ps auxw | grep rootlesskit)

I just ran a test locally on my pc and perf seems to be the same. One thing I forgot to mention is that the actual test is being run on k8s node doing a simple docker pull and v1.1.12 takes twice as long. Note that I'm also using fuse-overlayfs sitting on top a k8s ephemeral dir. But setting aside all the k8s stuff, if I switch back to v1.1.11, my pull times are cut in half.

@giuseppe @Luap99 do you see performance drop for Podman?

Luap99 commented

I have not noticed any difference.
