>In the latest Linux kernel v7.0, freeing up system memory used for caching large files has received a noticeable performance boost. According to notes on the kernel mailing list, a new set of patches queued for the Linux 7.0 merge window showed reclaim speed improvements of up to 75% in testing. In one benchmark, developers allocated 10 GB of file-backed data in memory and then reclaimed 8 GB of it. On a 32-core Arm64 server, the reclaim process completed about 75% faster compared to the older Linux implementation, while on an x86 machine, the improvement was reported at over 50%.
