This inevitably leads to bloat, we all know that efficiency is I don't think it's so bad (ie: it could be _worse_) There's some work going on to fix some "bloat problems" too, for example the x.org people are working in a sort of xlib complement/replacement (i don't know its real purpose) xcb which should help latency and code size. Composite itself is a nice way of avoiding that apps redraw their windows all the time. KDE "speed" is better is much better than a year ago, gnome 2.8 is also somewhat "faster" (compare nautilus in gnome 2.6 vs the one in 2.8). Openoffice 2.0 also will have some "performance improvements" (see http://development.openoffice.org/releases/q-concept.html#4.1.3.Performance|outline and http://development.openoffice.org/releases/q-concept.html#3.1.3.Performance|outline) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
