as I understand it, not really,,, if you have a pentium, you will see no real benefit. if you may see a speed improvement if you have an i686 (Ppro, PII or PIII) if you have an athlon its even more confusing, they benefit from i686 , but you can compile some athlong optimisations and reports of speed increases and decreases are about even.. so its anyones guess.
So I don't worry about it anymore, the only time I will compile is to get support for something I didn't have before.. other then that there isn't alot of point. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ken Hawkins Sent: Wednesday, 19 December 2001 1:59 AM To: expert Mandrake Subject: [expert] Kernel compile and speed Hopefully not all you experts out there have put me on your twit filter yet...(:^D) My question this time is: Is there a performance boost to be gained by compiling the kernel (whatever version) on the machine which it is to be installed? I have seen references to improved stability, and the odd reference to improved performance, but I haven't seen anything definitive. Thanks in advance Ken
