Hi,
has anybody experience with these new sys-kernel/ck-sources?
I could only see they have additional patches (in addition to those
of gentoo-sources).
But I didn't find which patches and why these have only been applied to
ck-sources?
Thanks for your opinion,
Helmut.
if you have more than 2 cores, you shouldn't use them ;)
Why, it's said to scale well up to 16 cores (at least)?
It's practically *made* for 2 and 4 cores. Single core enhancements
were added later.
Volker's recommendations is based on his own tests with the patches.
I'm on a dual core Intel E6600 and the patches help a big deal to keep
the GUI responsive and fluid.
Also note that there's much hate and fanboy-ism around this issue.
Expect people telling you how this is crap, or how the default Linux
scheduler is crap, etc, without them really having a clue what they're
talking about. (I am *not* referring to Volker here, mind you.)
