Extreme HTTP Performance Tuning
> Disabling [spectre] mitigations gives us a performance boost of around 28%Every couple months these last several years there always seems to be some bug where the fix only costs us 3% performance. Since those tiny performance hits add up over time, security is sort of like inflation in the compute economy. What I want to know is how high can we make that 28% go? The author could likely build a custom kernel that turns off stuff like pie, aslr, retpoline, etc. which would likely yield another 10%. Can anyone think of anything else?
