Hi folks.
I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and i'm unpleasantly surprised, how faster is than openSUSE 11.1.
That's because it is a newer release, not really fair to compare apples to oranges here.
In according to minuses from Brainstorming, http://en.opensuse.org/BrainStorming_Prague#Slow.2Funstable_applications http://en.opensuse.org/BrainStorming_Prague#Low-level_system_performance and especially article http://lizards.opensuse.org/2008/12/16/comments-on-phoronix-benchmarking-ope... by Andreas Jaeger, i want to ask, whether is any plan to speed up openSUSE 11.2?
Yes.
Do you realize that you should really do something with prerformance?
Yes.
Try the recently announced opensuse moblin release for an example of us booting opensuse in a few seconds. The kernel is done in less than a second, and the rest of init in another one, and x in another second. Right now the speed problems are in metacity and the rest of the x applications that we start up in the moblin default screen.
That work will all end up in 11.2.
hope this helps,

I have never been able to put a finger on it, perhaps Ubuntu starts fewer services. Going back a ways to kubuntu 6.04 on an old Fujitsu-Siemens laptop with 96M and a 2M video card, SuSE was unusable unless I used one of the lesser window managers, fvwm, windowmaker, etc. When I installed kubuntu it was quite responsive - the difference was obviously SuSE's KDE. Fast forward to today kubuntu 9.04 running in VirtualBox is the fastest I have come across, not only in terms of booting up, but also in bringing up applications. I have not done any checks of what services it starts. It's certainly snappier than any other VM's including previous versions of kubuntu. I wonder what the secret sauce in Moblin happens to be. A cue for another VM to try perhaps. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
