Hi: I've a lot of problems with my new D800, 'cause hardware is too new for 2.4x kernel series. For example, hdparm /dev/hda with 2.4.20-8 shows something similar to this: buffer caches 470 MB/s disk caches ....... 2,5 MB/s Now, with 2.4.20-13 something has changed: buffer caches 530 MB/s disk caches ....... 25 MB/s At the moment, the system doesn't power off auto, doesn't recognise the broadcom Gb built in ethernet, and more, but the load time has been decreased a lot! I'm searching in www some type of document like 'Red Hat Inc. How we make this cool thinks' but no luck ;) Regards Klaasjan Brand <kjb@xxxxxx>@redhat.com con fecha 19/05/2003 02:03:15 p.m. Por favor, responda a shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx Enviado por: shrike-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx Destinatarios: shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx CC: Asunto: new kernel 2.4.20-13.9 performance improvements? Hi, I tried to 2.4.20-13.9 kernel after hearing about performance improvements for interactive use. On both systems I use regularly I experienced some "stutter" when loading big applications (evolution, mozilla) which look to me like they're caused by heavy disk activity. On my work system, a P4/i850 system the new kernel seems to perform a lot better. Random "pauses" don't occur anymore. My home system (P3/i815) is not as happy with it though; it still becomes unusable when starting a heavy application. Maybe mouse "stutter" can be explained by the usb mouse (P4 has got PS/2), but it still seems to me the disk load is killing interactive performance. Anyone care to share some experiences?
