Hi, I came across this blog today about cutting down memory for gnome.
http://bmaurer.blogspot.com/2006/07/today-in-performance.html The interesting part for LFS is that he mentions that there's a cache for glibc which can be used by the setlocale function from glibc. On Ubuntu they hadn't generated the cache, so nothing could use it. He filed a bug: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/51884 We don't generate the cache either, and it is trivially simple. Using the command `iconvconfig' alone generates /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache. I propose we add this to the book just after or before the localedef's. Maybe before since there's a good chance localedef uses setlocale and could take advantage of the available cache. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
