	| I've been creating simfs and ploop based containers and exercising them in different ways. While the ploop-based containers are basically working, in
 my testing a ploop-based CT seems to require more resources than an
 equivalent simfs-based CT. On my modest 32 bit test rig with 1 GB RAM, I've
 been running dbench on simfs based CTs and looking at performance with new
 kernel versions. But when running dbench tests on a ploop based CT with the
 same resources, it has not been able to finish because the machine runs out
 of resources, performance slows to a crawl and even host processes are
 killed off.
 
 I'll try to get some more memory for this machine for further testing.
 
 Regards,
 
 Joe

	| I'm running slabtop every 30 seconds during a dbench run and the thing that is growing the fastest and taking the lion's share is biovec-256 - you can
 see it growing at 30 second intervals.

	| Exactly. It's fixed in next kernel version. Sorry for that. 
 Btw, when comparing performance be aware that disk performance depends a lot on placement. Disk beginning is typically around 2x faster.

While the ploop-based containers are basically working, in my testing a ploop-based CT seems to require more resources than an equivalent simfs-based CT. On my modest 32 bit test rig with 1 GB RAM, I've been running dbench on simfs based CTs and looking at performance with new kernel versions. But when running dbench tests on a ploop based CT with the same resources, it has not been able to finish because the machine runs out of resources, performance slows to a crawl and even host processes are killed off.
