Linux Performance: Different Distributions, Very Different Results
,----[ Quote ]
| When I write reviews of various Linux distributions and describe differences
| in performance I almost invariably get a comment to the effect that all Linux
| distros are essentially the same: running the same kernel, the same
| libraries, the same filesystems. Performance should be essentially the same,
| right? The answer is a resounding no. The performance results of different
| distributions, even ones running the same kernel version, the same core
| libraries, and the same filesystem can be very, very different.
|
| [...]
|
| The bottom line is that there are many variables in how a distribution is
| built. Slackware starts out simple and fast without much cruft. The
| derivative distros can add on, tweak for a specific niche, etc... and get
| somewhat different results. Since I run a netbook and a couple of older
| systems I tend to prefer distributions that place performance over other
| considerations.
