It seems as if my system doesn't benefit that much: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
With 8 gigs of RAM, suspend-to-ram, preload and only a handful of rather |
| 12 |
lightweight binaries in regular use this system is already pretty fast |
| 13 |
with hdds only. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I expected more WOW in terms of overall speed ... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
OK, I have to admit that it boots way faster, yup. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Around under 25 secs from grub to gdm-login on ssd compared to 45-50 |
| 20 |
secs on hdds. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I just moved /var to ssd as well so that apart from the larger data-LVs |
| 23 |
the whole gentoo-os runs from ssd now. Just to check ... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The difference might be more noticeable compared to slower hdds as in |
| 26 |
notebooks (might give it a try in my thinkpad as well) and with apps |
| 27 |
doing more i/o. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
My daily apps are only a few: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
thunderbird, opera, firefox, gnome-terminal, openoffice, acrobat reader, |
| 32 |
skype, gwibber ... vmware-server ... and the usual utilities like gthumb |
| 33 |
and stuff ... so there are no heavyweights afai see. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
All of these get cached pretty soon (I think) so that the overall |
| 36 |
experience is rather fast with the hdd-based-raid1-root-fs as well. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Maybe I just have to use it for a while and then boot back from hdds to |
| 39 |
really get the picture :-) |
