 Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2003 3:36 am Post subject: gentoo very slow..kernel setting? |
 |
|
Hi,
just installed gentoo again.. however this time its very very VERY slow. KDE3.1 runs like a pig and so does everything else.
Things i have done differently since i last did a gentoo install a few months ago.
I used ReiserFS , because the install docs said it was faster than ext3
Secondly, I changed Timer Frequency in General Setup for the kernel to 500 Hz as the help said it would speed up desktop speed.
Which one of these things is causing my very slow system.
Thanks for any ideas |

another thing...
i installed from the stage3 tarball which seems to be set to i586 in make.conf. I changed this to i686 before i compiled anything BUT.. just now avifile didn't compile, so i looked around and found out that it was the problem with the stage3 tarball. So i'm gonna recompile gcc with i686, do i need to rebuild everything? (say no).. and could this be causing performance problems? |

| Do you have your hostname aliased to your ip address in /etc/hosts ? |

I had the same hosts config as you did and changing it didn't speed things up. But then they weren't too slow to begin with:>. The dhcp/hosts problem is discussed here.

For dynamic ip addresses just alias the hostname to 127.0.0.1
In /etc/hosts there should be a line that looks like
127.0.0.1 localhost
You can either add you hostname to the end of that like this
127.0.0.1 localhost hostname
or create a new line like
127.0.0.1 hostname
and that should do it |
