On Sun, Oct 22, 2000 at 03:22:49PM +0100, thus said Sergio Brandano:
debian ppc is slow compared to debian i386
what do u think about...?
I think you are wrong.
I can not give any number, but I perceive my PowerBook G3 1999
400Mhz, as fast as, if not faster than, a new Athlon 800 with
fast memory. If you have any benchmark at hand, let me have it
and I will give you the scores.
Fast here too. Actually I do all the building of Evolution (the software I
hack at work) building on my powerbook, since it is always with me. My
desktop machine is a dual celeron 433 and it is just a bit faster, not much.
Maybe you are using the framebuffer-device Xserver, that makes the screen
redraws very slow since it is not much accelerated. Try Xpmac or the
experimental XFree4 debs instead.
cheers,
Tuomas
