| |
Hi there,
first I have to admit I can't as of now back up my expirience with benchmarks.
But the new memory management introduced by Rik seems to not stand up performance wise.
I use here a simple set up on a duron with 128mb and a kt-133 chipset with scsi aha2940 on an otherwise (gcc-2.95.2) almost stock redhat 6.2 with xf4.01 and latest dri code.
After a couple of hours the system seems to swap out more stuff and while using netscape-communicator all the time the machine gets slower and slower. An easy compile job, which under test7 was barely noticeable now seems to slow everything down to a total new extend.
The compile jobs (like compiling the dri tree which as said isn't really slowing down the system normally) even slow down moving windows or minimizing windows while under x.
After all I doo not know how to prove that, I gladly accept hints here.
I will gladly send other specs about my system upon request to interesting parties.
With best regards
