This was the best article available with performance tests on the Meltdown patch( for Windows 10). Hopefully we will see similar for Linux with a wide look at peformance. This will give you an idea of what to expect and as I thought the performance hit isnt as bad as expected but its bad with some and actually improves with a few.www.techspot.com/article/1554-meltdown-flaw-cpu-performance-windows/
If anybody spots comprehensive Linux patch performance tests please post them and Ill change the title of this thread, thanks CC
