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. |
