Optimizing KDE 3.1.x

Posted by timothy on from the wringin-out-seconds dept.

David Lechnyr writes "This article goes into detail on optimizing KDE for speed. Typically, most distributions include pre-compiled binaries of KDE which are optimized for an Intel i386 computer. Chances are that you're running something faster than this; if so, this should help you tweak the compile process to speed things up a bit."

  1. portage ? by Bobas · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Hey, all you need here is a decent port system such as FreeBSD's or Gentoo's portage. Not much to see here, i guess.

    On the other hand compiling unpatched source with experimental optimization flags for your system is just asking for trouble.

    I know this is offtopic but, the quote at the bottom of the page:

    A wise man can see more from a mountain top than a fool can from the bottom of a well.

    This doesn't make sense does it?

    Shouldn't the fool be on the mountain seeing less than the wise man in the well? may be I'm the fool.

    If you want to install the latest, up-to-date packages, yes. If not, I think you can buy a set of CDs with all the stuff on it. Look around on Gentoo.
