Like TuxOnIce which is still way faster than in kernel hibernation: I talk about 500 MB/s write and 800 MB/s read speed with an Intel SSD 320, as compare to about 350 MB/s with in kernel hibernation. Although it still does some issues on this ThinkPad T520 so I switched to mainline kernel hibernation. Or I wanted to try latencytop again for my Linux Performance Analysis & Tuning trainings. Option currently not enabled in Debian Wheezy/Sid kernels due to performance reasons (memory usage). I didn´t compile own kernels for about a year or so, but when I found out that its about 10 minutes on this machine I compiled some kernels again. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
