Same here. Q6600 Quad, 8800GT, 4 gigs memory, and it seems less snappier than on Vista. Though I'm wanting to blame it on flash, not sure. I am also running a beta OS (Kubuntu w/ KDE 4 b2 which I must say is shaping up rather nicely) so who knows.
Not really... you have to login first for the encryption and then again a second time to log into Linux if I'm not mistaken. With automatic login, you just have to log in once for the encryption.
pffftt. you call this optimization. another cheap article?how about download ubuntu tweak and do some tweaking of your own.then do the rest in the article+swappiness+preloadto top it off install gconf-cleaner and run it to clean out your gconfthen sit back relax and enjoy your super fast ubuntu
This is the best round-up of tweaks I have seen so far. I mean all the tweaks I know are there (except prelinking). But keep in mind some of these can be dangerous. Using the journal-mode data-writeback practically costs you a lot of file-system security and just gives you a very minor speed improvement (as opposed to noatime and nodiraime).The second thing (and probably the reason why CCmachineds LAN stopped working) is enabling concurrency for the boot-proccess. This feature is disabled on purpose because it assumes all processes use the new sysv init-replacement Upstart. For some it might work and greatly speed up the boot-process. But especially HAL and dbus still use init and might produce race-conditions.
the driver sucks balls. Nvidia are bitches and wont give up the sauce. so yes, it is "supported", but functionallity is limited: ie, architecture could be better, runs too hot, hdmi doesnt work that well on some cards. f**k nvidia.

Does preload speed up gnome apps too?
djarcadianJul 5, 2008
Yeah, I've noticed that it crashes more, too.

It is supported.

I would try underclocking, possibly try Vista. Both will basically have the same effect. (I kid, I kid.)
