Re: [arch-general] udev slow to start up
A potential solution would be to make udev startup in parallel - but this is kinda hacky because all your devices might not be ready in time for login or fsck or... you get what I mean.

Re: [arch-general] kernel 2.6.37 BKL
At this point the BKL doesn't cause much performance loss: "The Big Kernel Lock is a giant lock that was introduced in Linux 2.0, when Alan Cox introduced SMP support for first time. But it was just an step to achieve SMP scalability - only one process can run kernel code at the same time in Linux 2.0, long term the BKL must be replaced by fine-grained locking to allow multiple processes running kernel code in parallel. In this version, it is possible to compile a kernel completely free of BKL support. Note that this doesn't have performance impact: all the critical Linux codepaths have been BKL-free for a long time. It still was used in many non-performance critical places -ioctls, drivers, non-mainstream filesystems, etc-, which are the ones that are being cleaned up in this version. But the BKL is being replaced in these places with mutexes, which doesn't improve parallelism (these places are not performance critical anyway).

[arch-general] Do formulas work in Go-Openoffice?
Hi all, Are formulas working properly for anybody else using extra/go-openoffice?

The same thing happens to all the formulas if I save the document (as odt) and try to reopen it. Is this happening to anybody else? -- Alexander Lam

Re: [arch-general] troubles with resume after hibernate
I've known about this issue, but worked around it by not loading i915 before the resume from hibernate occurs - this is done by not including i915.ko in the initrd and not building i915 into the kernel. Additionally, I have highmem off (netbook with 1GB memory), but I don't know if that affects anything. I strongly advise you to fsck your disks now because the memory corruption might have screwed them up.

Long: The cache is unused RAM used to store recent accessed files. When a file gets read from disk or written out to disk, it is also placed in the cache, and taken out when more memory is needed for new cache entries or applications need want more memory. Since the db is made up of a bunch of small files, this causes the hdd to have to move its arm around the disk. Linux file systems, unlike Windows, tries to reduce fragmentation by allocating space for each file evenly across the disk. The problem with this shows itself with pacman. The db files are scattered through the disk and the hdd has to seek (slow operation) to find all of them. So, once all these files are in cache, the hard drive doesn't need to be accessed to get the db. Memory is fast at random access (like the hard drive's seek operation). > I suggest you look this: > > http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=20385 > > It uses one single file to store all pacman's db tree, mounting it via > loop device, so it gets faster than the native filesystem.

Thus, with a single file, the Linux file system will try to store it as a contiguous block on the hard drive, and the hard drive won't have to seek around, greatly increasing throughput. -- Alexander Lam
