Hello team Hut ab an alle SUSE developers!
The beta4 benchmark is now available on http://www.opensuse.org/index.php?title=SUPER_standard_benchmark and show a significant performance gain over previous beta's. Boot speed and preloading have done the trick and made this the fastest feeling SUSE yet. I am extremely pleased with the system. Guys and girls in SUSE.de land have done such a great job! I bow and say thanks a lot for such an improvement from beta2 to beta4. What I tried is many other combinations. Stefan Kulow (coolo) will be pleased to hear that he is right about prelinking after all and even I am convinced now (how could I ever have doubted the master) that prelinking does not entail any significant improvement over an already well configured and preloaded KDE. It actually is all slightly slower. I have also created the same tests for 9.3, just to see how well the folks in Nuernberg are working and pushing themelves very hard to make it better and better ... they show indeed very well the areas in which everyone has improved things. The 1 CD install gave overall an expected boost when booting, since the install is considerably smaller and defragmenting has also some impact on boot time, but of course nothing on the already preloaded apps. There are more tests to be done in the next few days (new kernel and all improvements together), but I do believe that this release is speed wise ready to blow anything away that is out there. Testing other distro's on my reference system I can safely say that SUSE is fast as lightening. I hope you find the benches as useful as I do, even if they are not "science". Well done again .... and have fun. Good night from NZ.
