Hi list, I am sure other people are experiencing this problem as well, and maybe it is something we have to live with, but I though I would put it up to the list for input. Can people put together some reccomendations as to how to speed up performance in RH8 a bit, as it is currently about 4-5 times slower than Windows XP (or other windows versions). My system is as follows: P4 1.5g 512mg 266 ddr ram Nvidia GF4 MX440 graphics card 64mg ddr ram 80g WD 7200 rpm hard drive, with 8mg cache Using a internet connection of 512k through ADSL connection.
I am finding both normal system use, as well as internet access very slow. My hard drive speed transfers are reported as follows through hdparm: cached read speeds 428mg /sec disk reads speeds 45.89m/sec is this good,normal,bad? I configured hdparm with experimentation, and this is the fastest I could get it. DMA is on, 32 bit i/o support, multicount 16, unmaskirq on. What other system settings give improved performance for relatively new pcs? If people could post some ideas, so I can look into them in more detail, it would be much appreciated. regards Greg -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
