Linux itu cepat. Itu sebab nya 90% dari top 500 super komputer tercepat di dunia memakai linux. Apakah orang tidak menyadari kalo sebenarnya linux itu sangat lah cepat di gunakan untuk keperluan server superkomputer di banding di gunakan untuk desktop. Tapi dalam beberapa tahun ini, linux sudah mulai meningkatkan performa untuk keperluan desktop pc anda. Sekarang kernel linux dari hari ke hari di perbaiki agar semakin cepat dan cepat .
Patch Kernel Linux yang di kembangkan oleh Mike Galbraith memasukan 233 baris kode baru ke dalam penjadwalan linux yang memungkinkan desktop PC anda serasa baru terus menerus.
Di mailing list linux kernel . Linus Trovald memuji akan peningkatan performa ini dari patch tersebut. Trovald menyebutkan
I'm also very happy with just what it does to interactive performance. Admittedly, my "testcase" is really trivial (reading email in a web-browser, scrolling around a bit, while doing a "make -j64" on the kernel at the same time), but it's a test-case that is very relevant for me. And it is a _huge_ improvement.
It's an improvement for things like smooth scrolling around, but what I found more interesting was how it seems to really make web pages load a lot faster. Maybe it shouldn't have been surprising, but I always associated that with network performance. But there's clearly enough of a CPU load when loading a new web page that if you have a load average of 50+ at the same time, you _will_ be starved for CPU in the loading process, and probably won't get all the http requests out quickly enough.
So I think this is firmly one of those "real improvement" patches. Good job. Group scheduling goes from "useful for some specific server loads" to "that's a killer feature".
