Hi.
I have made a little script, optimizing Ubuntu abit. If you have any good and relevant information, reasonable arguments, please post them.
Do note this script is something I have quickly made, and can probably be improved. Feedback from experienced desktop-optimizers is appreciated. The point is to get waiting due to suboptimal policies out. Making the desktop as responsive as it can be.
What it does for the time being, is set X to realtime, so that it`s singlethreadedness does not become a performance bottleneck. And all daemons to idle pri. Also idle pri, would ofcourse work best, if they are queued in a way separately, from normal apps, so they don`t all kick in at once. (and cause jitter)
Peace Be With You.
Please CC me.
