Guys, After a kernel rebuild my machine was pretty fast! =D My new config: cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -i cpu # CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is not set CONFIG_X86_CPUID=y CONFIG_SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS=4 # CPU Frequency scaling CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG is not set

Hi, Is there any Linux Tuning Guide for Gentoo only? I've found this one: http://www.linuxforums.org/desktop/linux_performance_tuning.html Sometimes my AMD64 is slower than my old Pentium3, even though my new machine has double CPU clock speed+memory. TIA []'s [EMAIL PROTECTED] --

No, I measured the time for KDE running some apps like KPlayer/Kmail, or running Java applications (Eclipse + Tomcat + Azureus), or GTK applications (Amule/Gaim). I'm not an Linux expert for tuning, but I've been using linux since 1997. 8 years of Slackware, 2 for Gentoo =D On 4/27/06, Simon

Well Mike, It's not about startup time, it's about running time, sometimes the systems freezes a little bit, just like asking for more CPU or RAM. My Box = AMD64 3200,1Gb RAM,Nvidia Gforce5500FX,2xHD80gb,Mobo Asus K8V Deluxe,Gentoo64 My Old Box= Pentium3 1Ghz,512MbRAM,Nvidia
