Try to recompile your kernel. I usually change the type of my CPU and the value of some timer from 250 Hz (good for servers) to 1000 Hz (for workstations). In 10.3 there was also a bug: Bug 333739 - Sycalls are very slow

Disable: < CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL=y

# CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is not set

(If you do not need auditing respectively have not the maintenance updates installed).

I'm not totally happy with my openSUSE 10.3 performance. It's not too fast (the same was with Ubuntu and Fedora). I think that are two ways: the first it's related to Gnome (probably high to my PC - P4, 512mb ram, 64mb video memory (dedicated), 60gb HD - or a kernel problem.

Could you advice me please?

Thanks

10.3 stil updater takes a lot of cpu checking, and whatever it does, i have to turn it off immediately when i am on 10.3 sometimes...

The slowness grows exponentially with the number of software repositories you have selected. The reason is that the Updater has to parse, refresh and build all of the indexes for rpms available and installed on the system. Take a look at /var/cache/zypp/zypp.db and you will get a feel for the sheer size of the information being churned when the applet is active. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

How does deb handle this? do they just have fewer repos? A friend of mine is running Kubuntu and I must say installing from repos are much faster (the whole experience); updating the available packages takes seconds (not the downloading, just getting the available updates).

Yes, Synaptic is way faster than zypper and YaST. I left SuSE for a while to try out Ubuntu and this is the one thing I like about it. Charles

Try openSUSE 11.0, the solver and repository handling was rewritten exacly because of the bad performance.

Cheers, Michael.

what will happen if I install the zypper present in 11 (eventually recompiled from scratch) on a 10.3 installation? Should I expect breakage of some sort? Unfortunately the zypper in 10.3 is really exasperating :( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

there are a couple of repos zppp:backport and yast:backport which you can try but things tend to break from time to time! dr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yeah, i am aware of that, but i am too lazy to change it on 10.3, cause i am seldom there ;) -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (Now or never...)
