I've just upgraded my first laptop with a newer glibc sporting both the nptl
and pic USE switches.
Thought I'd share what I've learned so far...
If you haven't noticed, this is Gentoo and so far things "feel" marginally
better as far as performance goes. Everything runs as before, perhaps just a
tad bit faster. Mos notably is KDE. Yet again, there's an increment in
performance for the old pig.
The only downside I've picked up on is... some apps won't compile with the new
thread model. Most notable is mysql. It complains bitterly about not find the
linux threads in glibc... Looks as though a patch will be forth comming for
it. :')
I'll be putting the new NPTL on a server at work, maybe today, tomorrow for
certain and we'll see how it really works.
Cheers, all. Have a great Tuesday.
