Phoronix: More Benchmarks Of The Improved Linux Performance With Glibc 2.29

Yesterday I posted some initial benchmarks looking at the performance improvements with Glibc 2.29, the newest feature release of the GNU C Library. Here are more benchmarks on eight different systems using Glibc 2.29 on Clear linux...

@Michael: really nice benchmarks! I'm just missing ryzen/epic in the cpu mix (they do work on clear linux, right?)

Not sure how easy it is to do, but a benchmark comparison between glibc and musl would be very interesting.

Afaik only Alpine Linux uses Musl, so maybe a benchmark with that.

(technically also OpenWrt uses Musl, but it's a very special-purpose Linux distro for embedded devices so they favor low footprint above performance at any turn)

Actually, there is also void linux musl editions as well

Void Linux is available with Musl also.

It's probably a better choice than Alpine then, as it is supposed to be a desktop distro, while Alpine is more server/embedded/minimal thing you have to set up manually.

Would also be nice to do march=native as gcc then adapts to the correct cache size for the detected CPU.
