How to make the 2.6.27 Kernel lean ?
Hello all,
what options do I have to disable/enable in menuconfig in order to get the 2.6.27 kernel running as fast as the 2.4.x kernel on the same hardware ?
The 2.4.x runs definitely faster than the 2.6.x.
The cpu is probably the first construction site to begin with:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 6
model : 8
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+
stepping : 0
cpu MHz : 1665.837
cache size : 256 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow up

thank you, Mario
