 |
|
I read this forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1680985
It basically gives yet another approach to solve what for me is a very fundamental issue: lags in compiz animations! 
I have tried before with a startup script in gnome, but it seems not very elegant for my taste.
So, I decided to give it a try and write a little bit more elegant version, here it is:
| Code: |
#!/sbin/runscript
description="Renice compiz in order to reduce lags"
start(){
einfo "Starting Compiz booster"
local compiz=$(pgrep compiz)
until [ "$compiz" != "" ];
do
compiz=$(pgrep compiz)
sleep 10
done
renice -10 -p $compiz
}
end(){
einfo "Stopping Compiz booster"
local compiz=$(pgrep compiz)
until [ "$compiz" != "" ];
do
compiz=$(pgrep compiz)
sleep 10
done
renice 0 -p $compiz
}

However, I am not a gentoo or linux guru, so I am aware that maybe there is a better way of doing this. Particularly with the end() section, I didn't have a clue of what to do. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

| Run compiz via `schedtool -I`, and use a BFS-patched kernel. Messing with nice levels is the wrong way to fix it. |

Thanks, that is good advice.
However, I have a question: as I have an i7 laptop, I am supposed to use NUMA support at kernel to obtain better performance? And if it is so, shouldn't that interfere with the BFS patch?
Thanks!
