Hello.
I'm a computer science professor at Northern Michigan University. I found your email address at http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Testing_Core_Team. I'm considering offering a student research project and thought you might be able to provide some input. Or, could you suggest someone better to contact?
Has anyone timed various operations in Suse vs Ubuntu vs Fedora? I'm curious if it's quicker to log in, find a file, open a document, etc. in Suse, Ubuntu or Fedora?
Does anyone already have data on these questions? Or, if we do the benchmarking myself, is anyone interested in the results? Finally, is there some particular operation you'd like to see benchmarked?
I'm copying this reply to the opensuse-testing mailing list. I have heard anecdotal reports that distro XX is faster than YY while doing ZZ, but I am not aware of any properly designed studies. I am confident that the other members of the Testing Team will post such studies if they exist. Certainly, the distro packagers would be interested in the results. My suspicion is that the most important factor will be the kernel itself, and that there will be only small differences when all are using the same kernel version; however, that is certainly a testable hypothesis.
