As I said, those benchmarks are not very reliable, considering the effect of the cache and of the procedure used. Probably we should repeat them rebooting everytime or using a tool which allows to measure loading times of the applets.
You can do
echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
to wipe the buffer cache. This is not as accurate as doing a cold boot, but it gets pretty close.
flush-disk.c from http://en.opensuse.org/Boot_time/Scripts should be accurate I believe. Cheers, Magnus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
