My focus is from server-side disk-intensive applications - databases, multi-user file stores, etc, where noatime makes a measurable difference both to load average and wallclock results of large database queries. But the above brings up a good point: noatime should reduce the impact on battery usage for single-user portable systems. Performance wise it probably won't give desktop users anything terribly exciting, but certainly for notebook users it could extend battery life a touch. - -Dan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIUbaYeFJDv0P9Qb8RAjA0AKCBxjM2eG3u1xho5ku1mE1F8/z3awCfS7Pq dBKvWTlLCYtxAluEjxApcdc= =euJq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
