This is still the case in Feisty, expiring the bug will not change
anything! However, Gutsy does not seem to suffer from this. I will
report back after final release.

So far I can tell you, that I always booted with AC connected. And I
don't think the powermanagement will make my laptop run faster on
battery. But I will give it a try.

2007-09-04 Thread elias
The situation seems to have improved but the bug is still active.

The feisty-generic kernel boot process is still much slower than
feisty-386. Also frequency scaling does still not work. I still believe
this is related to something consuming/blocking CPU cycles, so only a
small number of cycles are available for actual work. That is why the
CPU frequency can never be scaled down.

I have filed a separate bug for the CPU frequency scaling problem, but I very 
much believe they are related!

[Bug 118765] Re: feisty generic kernel performing worse than i386

2007-09-04 Thread elias
I checked again for frequency scaling and came up with a new theory to
the bad generic kernel performance.

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors reveals 
this:
powersave ondemand userspace conservative performance

When I switch through the governors CPU frequencies are actually scaled.
However either max or min are used (I checked
scaling_available_frequencies and there are the same frequencies defined
as with the 386 kernel, where frequency scaling works fine).

ondemand and performance governor lead to the max frequency used all
time and powersave does lead to the min frequency to be used all time. I
think userspace resulted in min frequency as well.

My theory for the slow boots is now, that when the kernel boots min
frequency is used and as soon as acpid, ... are started max frequency is
used. What the reason for all this is, I still can't imagine.
