Hello together, |

I want to setup a few hardened/grsecurity Gentoo VMs which will work on an |
| 4 |
ESX afterwards. Now, if I recall correctly, the performance of a test |
| 5 |
installation some time ago was awful. Since I let the system compile over |
| 6 |
night I only saw this when the system was complete and tried to get it to |
| 7 |
work on the server. |

I think disabling SSP _or_ the "NX-bit" in the kernel (x86-32) helped to get |
| 10 |
a significant performance boost (but perhaps I'm just imagining sth. since |
| 11 |
it seems logical/possible for me ;-) ). The last post on this list I found |
| 12 |
was from 2004 mentioning potential problems with pageexec - is this it? |
| 13 |

My question is, can that be? Who is using hardned gentoos within some |
| 15 |
vmware-vms? How do I get good performance *g* (speak: which options not to |
| 16 |
use)? When it's only stuff in the kernel, it is easy to test out. But |
| 17 |
recompiling the whole system wouldn't be that funny ;) |

Hopefully this question is understandable :) Thank you for your time, |
