I ran SuSE v9.0 on an Athlon XP 2600+ until recently when I installed
Kubuntu 5.10. For the past year I've used gv with great success viewing
large (~200 MB, ~600 pages) postscript files I produce. With SuSE
installed each page would render what seemed to be instantly. With
Kubuntu there has been a huge performance hit. Now it takes ~4 seconds
to render each page. I just tested this again on two SuSE v9.0
machines. Below are my observed results along with some from other
machines.
SuSE 9.0; gv v3.5.8
Dual Xeon (around 3GHz) unknown vid: renders pages instantly
PII w/on-board ATI: Second fastest of all machines at < 1sec to render a
page
Sarge; gv v3.6.1
Opteron 244 SMP w/Matrox 400: ~1 sec to render a page. Slightly slower
than the PII.
Athlon MP 2000+ SMP w/Matrox 550: ~4 seconds to render a page
Kubuntu 5.10; gv v3.6.1
Athlon XP 2600+ w/Matrox 450: ~4 seconds to render a page.
Is the performance hit due to the newer version or does SuSE do
something to speed things up? How can I get back the performance I had
with SuSE? Thanks for your time.
Gary
