lol indeed very old.

I must laugh about this ricer shit and all, however. I must add to the 'hdparm' section that I actually had some speed optimization from a certain parameter which was probably disabled in the BIOS on my old Toshiba (Pentium) laptop which I couldn't change there. It sped up my harddrive by almost half the speed. Since the IDE controller only worked in Programmed Input/Output (PIO) mode i needed all speed i could get. (were it to be 30-40% at least).

I had to enable the 32-bit transfer mode. This seemly wasnt enabled by default at that time by kernel.

My write/read speed went from 3~MB/s to like 6MB/s.

But it was not the processor which was holding me down. It was primarily the harddisk/harddisk space and memory usage which I had to 'optimize'. (-Os for the win!) lol

Now thats some speed increase dont you think? hehe.
But seriously, at a time i could consider myself a beginning ricer. But I stopped with it as soon as I got a faster computer. LOL.

I bet the "ricing" discussion will have a very noisy "comeback" when GCC-4.5 is marked stable and people realize what Graphite can do. ;)

Graphite has been around since 4.4 and you still have to explicitly enable the flags as of 4.5 AFAICT.

This box:

CFLAGS="-march=native -O3 -mmmx -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -floop-block -pipe"

Makes it look ricey.

Of course. But I was merely thinking of:
Code:
CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe -mmmx -msse -msse2 -msse3 -mssse3 -mcx16 -msahf -mtune=core2 -mfpmath=sse  -ftree-vectorize -mno-push-args -floop-interchange -fgraphite-identity -ftree-loop-distribution -floop-parallelize-all -floop-strip-mine -floop-block -ftree-parallelize-loops=5"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
;)

Mah ... with "-march=native -Ofast -ftree-vectorize -pipe" i got errors compiling kdelibs, chromium , webkit-gtk ....
And printing from firefox or chrmium give to me a black page.

So i'm returned to a classic "-march=native -O2 -pipe" and i've stability and good performances.

(i think that errors may due to -Ofast (that is equal at -O3 -ffast-math) and -ffast-math is "dangerous".

Hi to All !
