Unless there is a good reason for doing so, I disagree with disabling NoHz by default. This was implemented after being brought up on this email list in early March 2009. NoHz has multiple benefits, including much-improved performance in a VM and lower power consumption. The last couple paragraphs of this CNET article note some of the benefits of CONFIG_NO_HZ (tickless kernel). * http://news.cnet.com/Linux-coders-tackle-power-efficiency/2100-1007_3-6192865.html Thanks, Matthew For some prior discussion-- * http://listengine.tuxfamily.org/lists.tuxfamily.org/slitaz/2009/03/msg00006.html [1] * http://listengine.tuxfamily.org/lists.tuxfamily.org/slitaz/2009/03/msg00014.html [2] On Sat 02/25/12 3:13 PM , Ikem Krueger [email protected] sent: > 2012/2/25 Christophe Lincoln : > > Hi all, > > Any other changes you want to see in RC2? > > - Christophe I like to see: - Enhanced boot menu with "Check media disk". -> md5sum - Enhanced boot menu with "Check computer memory". -> memdisk - Enhanced boot menu with localization. - Enhanced boot menu with an option to change the screen resolution. - Enhanced boot menu help with the parameter to disable DMA. - Enhanced boot menu help with username/password for tux/slitaz/root. - Disable NoHz on default. - Enable NoHz on laptops dynamically. -> echo "nohz" /proc/cpu? - Make fastboot a boot option. - Enable fastboot as default. - Make use of plymouth/usplash. - Change username from "tux" to "slitaz". - Ship Slitaz with a gui tool to change the screen resolution. -> lxrandr I know it's a lot.
