(Perhaps the library files all stayed in teh OS cache during your testing.) On the machine I was updating these processes were running for a few seconds each time something needed them. And there were at least dozens out of the 1350 updates that called them. There is a good argument that they weren't that significant compared to the other stuff going on then. But it would probably cut a couple of minutes off a process that went for over an hour and a half (that's just the finishing upgrade step and I had to go home before it finished so I don' know how much longer it took). Perhaps there is better bang for the buck in other places. There is also no progress bar for this step which makes it hard to tell how far along things are. For a step that runs for over an hour, I don't think this is a good thing. Running top while the post processing was going on showed anaconda with about %40 of my 512MB and noticiable CPU, but not pegged (typical less than 20%). I could hear the disk drives making noise (I think seeks, but I don't know for sure) during this process that they don't make when things are fairly idle. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
