Hi all,
i recenly reinstalled gentoo on my raspberrypi, but i dunno why i have a sort of "lag" in terminal:

Eselect example:
Code:

myrasp ~ #: time eselect profile list

After hitting enter to execute eselect, the systems seems hangs for about 40sec then do all as usual.Q

try to strace one of the slow commands, maybe you can find out which syscalls are
taking so long.

Hi roarinelk, as you suggest you can find strace at the end of this post (my skill in reading that is = 0, the only thing that i have notice is a 36sec hang near the end of strace), this morning with a less workload this is the situation, even if is smaller the delay persists:

You'll need to rerun that with strace -f or strace -ff, it looks like the delay is in a child process.

Just a random guess: a delay of 30 seconds might be something network-related.

Hi Ant,

i have done a strace -tt -f eselect profile list, the output is too high, so pastebin don't allow me to copy that online, i have zipped the output text here:
eselectstraceff2.zip
or
eselectstraceff2.bz2
or
eselectstraceff2.tar.gz

No clue on how to read those straces :(

Do you experience same lag executing other commands - eselect profile list takes about the same time on my Raspberry Pi, but I don't generally feel like I'm getting eccessive lag.

With a USB hard drive and portage in a squashed filesystem:
Code:
real    0m33.564s
user    0m30.488s
sys     0m1.937s


The SD card performance are really bad. Try to put / on a USB hard drive ;)

I'm googling around looking for something about this problem, but i still haven't found a solution so...

To show better what i mean, a made this video.
(i'm sorry but i was hurry and i uploaded it whiout editing)

Look how much time passes between pressing the enter key and the start of the progam:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgjQSLe6fbU

Just see and tell me if is normal or not, thank you :wink:

I can do other test, if u want.

@xaviermiller
I need that raspberrypi use only a sd card no other device (maybe you are right with an external hdd or ssd over usb i maybe get better performance, if the problem is i/o access time, but for my needs i can't use that solution)
