Hi all, I have to agree with Bevin I have not noticed any performance difference, but what I have noticed on my laptop tho is having 'noatime' set on my HDD partitions it has helped lower the 'Load_Cycle_Count' on my HDD when on battery.
here is what my fstab file looks like for reference: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 / ext3 errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 1 /dev/hda2 /home ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2 /dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 and to checkout the 'Load_Cycle_Count' on you laptop HDD while on battery run as root: # smartctl -a /dev/hda | grep Load_Cycle_Count ; sleep 600 ; smartctl -a /dev/hda | grep Load_Cycle_Count oh you need to have 'smartmontools' installed. Hope this helps someone out.
