Today, I did a small test. Look at the performance of 7.04 to 6.10 (in fact, it is only a test of the kernel ).
Test software: Super PI Linux native version.
Test content: Calculate the super PI 1.04 million bits (2 ^ 20 ).
Test hardware: Dothan 1.73 GHz, 1.5g RAM ddr533 dual channel.
Testing System: Ubuntu 6.10 7.04 herd3 (updated today)
Test Conditions: Do not enter the gnome environment, only in the console, to ensure that the test is free of interference.
Test results: 6.10 37 seconds 5, 7.04 34 seconds.
In addition, a test of the same type was performed in Windows XP, 44 seconds.
It is easy to understand.
From this point of view, Kernel updates are quite meaningful.
In addition, Windows XP can be left alone for 10 seconds. Do you want to see anyone? Which is cool.
I upgraded from the brand-new 6.10 to 7.04 yesterday. I felt that the speed was very fast, and the font was very beautiful without any need to be set (I still marked the cleartype patch ).
You can do this if you're okay.
