with Paul we've finally discuss the plan to change defconfig. >I am *not* a kernel developer... so, I failed to get attention of kernel developers to this problem :) > Most of the time the real users will hit a bug... we have 1 fix in branch all users use since... august i think. and this depends on how much we pay for particular option. > IMO it makes a lot of sense to find out the single debug configs that > add overhead and just remove those. I just propose to look from other side - identify options we need, as this is debugging options, and enable them. if nobody knows why we need some option - no reason to have it enabled. >On the other hand I understand (and agree) that we want to get every > speedup that is possible on our beloved device :) mrmoku, just try kernel without debugging and you'll understand why i m so inistent, and why people even start blaming openmoko that they didn't do that before, forgetting for the moment that openmoko is only reason why we have something to discuss :) gennady
