Feature changed by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Feature #311598, revision 2 Title: speedup opensuse openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: jaime torres (jtamate) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When you have tried Gentoo, all the other distributions are slower. If opensSUSE wants to attract a lot more developers, just speedup the distribution doing this simple trick: ****** Provide, as a start, kernel and glibc compiled for every major cpu architecture gcc (and linux) supports. (-march= and -mtune= parameters) i386, i486, i586, i686, pentium, pentiumpro, pentiumii, pentiumiii, pentium4, prescott, nocona, core, core2, corei7, l1om, k6, k6_2, athlon, opteron, k8, amdfam10, bdver1 ****** And if at installation time, the cpu type information is written to a zypper configuration file, it could search the optimized file instead of the generic one. + Discussion: + #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2011-03-15 14:29:31) + This is madness. At least post some benchmarks. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311598

I had a top cpu frequency limit in opensuse that I had not in gentoo. And I completely forgot about it. Doing some benchmarks after removing the limit, the times are very close between them. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311598
