[Bug 821728] Re: Increasing hdd performance: Swap partition should be at the beginning of the hard disk drive
I think these claims need to be backed up by quantitative data. The relative position of a swap partition might have been an important factor 10 years ago on slow hard disks in computers with little RAM. However, with most modern PCs shipping with at least 4GB RAM and fast hard disks with 32MB on-disk cache, I doubt that the average user would notice the difference where the swap partition was located. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/821728 Title: Increasing hdd performance: Swap partition should be at the beginning of the hard disk drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/821728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You hardly every use swap on normal machines nowadays, and if you do 30% more throughput will hardly improve anything. Its probably preferable to have the os and applications in the fast section to increase boot speed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/821728 Title: Increasing hdd performance: Swap partition should be at the beginning of the hard disk drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/821728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is true but the application- and system files will only slowdown if they are behind the 20%-25%. Even if this happens the slowdown will be only small because the files are moved only a little percentage to an inner disk position (where the relative position of the disk is still fast) and not to the end of the disk where they will be really slow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/821728 Title: Increasing hdd performance: Swap partition should be at the beginning of the hard disk drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/821728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
