| |
Hi I'm have a Cyrix 486/66 with 12Megs of ram. I'm using preemptible patches from quite some time now. (2.4.10- 2.4.13) I was using both Robert Love and Andrew Morton's patch. I would like to do some benhmarks but there are some issues: 1. The system is slow and has low memory so a big benchmark is out of question (compiling the kernel take 4 hours if i don't touch the console) 2. The benchmark must be small and adequate (patching the kernel to make a benchmark is out of discussion)
Any ideas ?
(No i don't have money to buy a new machine, I win 200$/month, a new pc (crappy) is 350-400$ (in my country)).
I did run (some time ago, without preemptible kernel) some benchmarks (bonnie, and bytebench or something) but it was no improvement (1% maybe ) whatever I have done with hdparm or vm tweaking.
P.S. (for Andrew ) Will there be a patch for 2.4.14 ?
