Subject: gcc 4.1 upgrade - bad desktop interactivity anyone?
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 07:15:42 -0700
Hi,
   I'm just curious whether anyone besides me is noticing their
machine feeling somewhat sluggish since doing the gcc-4.1 upgrade?
Mine seems ot be using a lot of memory. Alt-tabbing between windows
seems slow. Ethernet traffic in my browser is causing pretty
noticeable interruptions in things like MythTV.

   I noticed that the rtirq scripts were not setting one of my sound
cards priorities correctly after the upgrade so I changed the config
file and fixed that, but I don't think it should have changed at all.

   The machine is still quite usable, but it doesn't feel as snappy as
it did last week.

   I made no changes in /etc/make.conf for the upgrade. Everything is
pretty basic as far as I can tell:

CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
USE="dri radeon mmx mmxext sse sse2 3dnow 3dnowext gnome kde -esd
-arts ladspa nptl nptlonly audiofile gimp gimpprint ppds usb alsa cdr
dvd dvdr dvdread jack jack-tmpfs fluidsynth tcltk sndfile v4l v4l2
mysql flac xscreensaver -samba i8x0 mythtv apache2 -lirc mjpeg xvid
real cjk unicode vorbis ogg truetype java -eds"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"

   3GHz AMD64 with 1GB & NVidia chipset/SATA drives.
