Hi guys,
After having received strong advice from the people in this list to
upgrade my kernel to the latest one, I have installed 3.8.0-14-generic
#24-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 on several (4) machines.
In the hope of improving systems speed I had also removed all snapshots
then defragged the FSes - the snapshots have been recreated since, as I
use the excellent SuSE "Snapper" tool.
But well, all 4 machines are still slow like hell. All of them are used
for quite basic daily tasks - web browsing, email, typical LibreOffice
tasks, nothing very mysterious there, no specific heavy DB work.
All machines have 64-bits Linuxes (either Ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04ß), with
decent amounts of RAM - 2 GB to 4 GB - and disks filled less than 75%
With such a setup, I would expect any decent filesystem to deliver
excellent performance. Still, all of my machines are slow like hell and
I'm most of the time in mode « Working my patience while waiting for the
HD LED to go off ».
I haven't noticed any real-life noticeable improvement upgrading the
kernels from 3.5.x to 3.8.x
So I'm wondering...
