Package: linux-image-2.6-686 Version: 2.6.26+17 Severity: wishlist
I have a fairly standard laptop configuration which is an IBM T43 ThinkPad. Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz 1 GB of RAM ATI Mobility R300 GPU With the default linux-image, I get a very sluggish and unresponsive interaction with my OS when a small list of applications are open (Eclipse, Firefox, Kontact, Konqueror, Konsole). I rolled out my own package with the following changes: CONFIG_HZ_1000=y CONFIG_SLUB=y Preemption Model=Desktop With these settings in place, I'm able to feel a performance improvement of 2-3 times. The users can very well roll-out their own custom kernel packages, but do you guys think it'd make sense to have a linux-image-VERSION-desktop flavor also ? A lot of users run Debian on desktops and laptops.
