Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
I have 4 gentoo systems. Three are 1-3 years old, the fourth has just |
4 |
been rebooted for the first time after installing gento 2005.1 on it. |
5 |
|
6 |
When I reboot any of the older three computers and simply type |
7 |
emerge |
8 |
|
9 |
it takes 14 to 20 seconds before I get a message from emerge. On the |
10 |
fourth computer this takes only 2 seconds or so. |
11 |
|
12 |
A second emerge commands on all machines retunrs quickly. |
13 |
|
14 |
Just to see if some kind of defragmentation might help, I made a full |
15 |
copy of my root partition to a new one, altered grub.conf and restarted. |
16 |
Emerge startup time improved from 20 to 14 seconds which is still rather |
17 |
slow. |
18 |
|
19 |
Programs like mplayer show simular initial startup times. |
20 |
|
21 |
All computer are athlon 1600-2000 based, and have hard disks tat read |
22 |
about 38 mb/s according to hdparm. |
23 |
|
24 |
Is there a way to speed up initial program load times? |
25 |
|
26 |
Kind regards, |
27 |
|
28 |
Henk. |
