Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 2 vs. Early Fedora 13 Benchmarks

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday January 15, 2010 @10:40AM from the flavor-of-the-moment dept.

Given that early benchmarks of the Lucid Lynx were less than encouraging, Phoronix decided to take the latest alpha out for a spin and has set it side-by-side with an early look at Fedora 13. "Overall, there are both positive and negative performance changes for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Alpha 2 in relation to Ubuntu 9.10. Most of the negative regressions are attributed to the EXT4 file-system losing some of its performance charm. With using a pre-alpha snapshot of Fedora 13 and the benchmark results just being provided for reference purposes, we will hold off on looking into greater detail at this next Red Hat Linux update until it matures."

Don't worry; it's actually alpha (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Alpha 2) vs. pre-alpha (2010-01-13 Rawhide nightly build). Much better.

Yes, the inductors and transformers for Macs are hand-rolled on the thighs of virgins.

If it breaks user's expectations or destroys user's data, no matter how much anyone tries to convince me otherwise, it is a bug.
