Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Performance
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, Ubuntu 9.10 provides some nice
| performance boosts to netbook users, as our
| results show from both the Dell Inspiron Mini 9
| and Samsung NC10. The boot performance is also
| faster, but the key areas in Ubuntu 9.10 where
| there is improved performance is with disk-
| intensive tasks due to the EXT4 switch and other
| optimizations along with the graphics performance
| due to Intel's new Linux graphics stack maturing.
| Besides the performance changes, the KDE and GNOME
| desktops have been updated, there is now Ubuntu
| Moblin Remix, and many other features can be found
| in the Karmic Koala release to excite mobile Linux
| users.

Ubuntu 9.10 Off To A Great Performance Start
,----[ Quote ]
| Wow, while there may not be many end-user improvements in Ubuntu 9.10 yet and
| the desktop looks just like that of Ubuntu 9.04, there does seem to be some
| performance improvements. Besides the huge SQLite improvement that did not
| come as a surprise, there are better compilation times with GCC 4.4, much
| better disk performance with the newer Linux kernel, and other improvements
| throughout. One area that still needs to be improved upon is with the Intel
| Linux graphics performance after going through radical changes with kernel
| mode-setting, DRI2, and the Graphics Execution Manager.
