Since I commented on yum speed in rawhide, I thought I'd run some
comparisons from Fedora Core 5 through current rawhide. We do PXE/http
network installs using kickstart here and include extras/updates/local
repositories in the install. I did the installs on a moderately old
Pentium M 1.4GHz computer with 100MB ethernet. Here are the break downs
(time is from the previous step to that line):
FC5 (919 packages)
(actually, this is a rebuilt FC5 repo with extras and updates merged in,
and with NFS not HTTP)
boot
-> run anaconda 17s
-> basepkgsel 30s
-> postselection 41s +
-> enablefilesystems 110s |
-> installpackages 74s +- 225s
-> copylogs 19:37
FC6 (984 packages)
boot
-> run anaconda 18s
-> basepkgsel 30s
-> postsel 238s +
-> enablefilesys 212s |
-> installpackages 69s +- 519s
-> copylogs 20:12
F7 (1039 packages)
boot
-> anaconda 19s
-> basepkgsel 24s
-> postselection 99s +
-> enablefilesystems 284s |
-> installpackages 69s +- 452s
-> copylogs 17:53
rawhide (1109 packages)
boot
-> anaconda 30s (10s to insert wireless ipw2100 driver)
-> basepkgsel 27s
-> postselection 70s +
-> enablefilesystems 39s |
-> installpackages 72s +- 181s
-> copylogs 33:19
Observations:
- FC5 was the best
- FC6 was *slow*
- F7 package install speed improved
- F8 startup is looking good, packages are taking longer to install
though. Debugging still in rawhide kernel?
- Getting more and more packages each release. Hmm..
It would be nice to have a log of how long each package took to install.
