Re: [9fans] slow performance



That sounds like a video driver issue, depends on what card and what
driver you are using. For me rio on ancient hardware is much faster
than any X window manager on modern hardware.

I have not been able to tell any difference on how fast rio is since
it was first released almost a decade ago, all GUI operations have
always been instantaneous, you can't get much faster than that.

If you find Plan 9 slow for anything, even on ten years old hardware,
then there is clearly something wrong with your setup, either you HD
is not doing DMA, you are using VESA and your card doesn't like it, or
something like that.

uriel - who runs a 600Mhz CPU server and an even slower thinkpad
terminal and still can compile kernels in seconds.

Sorry, but what do you mean with "test setup" ?


Making use of that topic. Actions like making new windows, `cat` something,
`ls` something, well, draw things on the screen (when i start rio, windows
opens and so on). that all actions are slower than here in Other O.S. (i
think that there isnt problem to say what is it, maybe it can help.
Slackware 10.1).


Well, i want to make it clear that i'm not comparing 2 O.S. and saying that
one is better of something like that, i'm using only a reference to say
"well, i'm getting slow performance here, what's wrong?".
