An anonymous reader writes: Tests were carried out at Phoronix of all Ubuntu Long-Term Support releases from the 6.06 "Dapper Drake" release to 16.04 "Xenial Xerus," looking at the long-term performance of (Ubuntu) Linux using a dual-socket AMD Opteron server. Their benchmarks of Ubuntu's LTS releases over 10 years found that the Radeon graphics performance improved substantially, the disk performance was similar while taking into account the switch from EXT3 to EXT4, and that the CPU performance had overall improved for many workloads thanks to the continued evolution of the GCC compiler.

Just to show an example, look what I found in the MediaTomb unit file:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mediatomb -d -u $MT_USER -g $MT_GROUP -P /run/mediatomb.pid -l $MT_LOGFILE -m $MT_HOME -f $MT_CFGDIR -p $MT_PORT -e $MT_INTERFACE
That "-l" there means that MediaTomb will not log to stdout/stderr/syslog but that it instead logs to it's own logfile in $MT_LOGFILE so no wonder one will never ever find MediaTomb logs in the journal, they are never sent there by the daemon in the first place.
