I don't have a performance issue, or at least i don't think i've got one :-) How do I go about testing this ?
Its a desktop machine (Athlon-XP 2200, 1GB pc2700, Asus A7v333(VIA KT333) U160 SCSI HDD) thats used for normal everyday tasks with a bit of java and C development thrown in. The main applications i run are X, mozilla, evolution, jbuilder, openoffice and a few misc others. All these load up and run at a reasonable pace. But i'm one of those people for whom fast is never fast enough :-) What really got me started on thinking about this was reading about gentoo everywhere, i decided against gentoo though, so i though that this would give similar performance gains (After all, every gentoo user you see will tell you how fast their system is :-) Regards, Adam On Wed, 2002-11-20 at 01:43, Ed Wilts wrote: > On Tue, Nov 19, 2002 at 06:06:05PM +0000, Adam Bowns wrote: > > I am considering rebuilding all the rpm's in use on my system so they > > are optimised for my processor, but I have a few questions I would > > really like to know the answer to before i start :-) > > > > 1.Will it increase performance significantly ? > > Probably not.
