gOS 1.0.1: lots of hype, but not so fast
,----[ Quote ]
| As I say above the biggest thing to emerge is the speed advantage of
| Slackware and Debian, especially with Xfce. The relative slowness of
| Slackware 11-based Wolvix was puzzling. And while I didn't have OpenOffice
| installed in Slackware, and KOffice is pretty much a quicker program, I
| included its load numbers for comparison's sake. I did first and second loads
| of all apps because the second load is often -- but not always -- much
| quicker. Times for office suites were the number of seconds it took to open
| up a new OO Writer or KWord document.

Interesting numbers to watch, even though they are very hardware-dependent.

Ubuntu 7.10 vs. Early Ubuntu 8.04 Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| These benchmarks are very preliminary and only cover a select number of
| tests, while in early 2008 we will be taking a more thorough look at the
| performance of Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" in different environments. So far
| the performance looks to be roughly the same between the 2.6.22-based Ubuntu
| 7.10 and Ubuntu 8.04 Alpha 2. After the Alpha 2 release tomorrow, the next
| Alpha release is planned for January 10.
