How much extra performance would you squeeze out on a normal consumer laptop by compiling the kernel yourself nowadays? One per cent?
Even back in the Gentoo days, when we measured the differences, they were underwhelming.
- djbusby 3y agoWasn't the kernel so much as compiling all the other stuff with GCC picking the right arch/optimisation. Cause those were for sure faster than running the stock i386 or i686 or x64 apps. But it's been so long (2005) I don't have the numbers in front of me anymore. Not as critical in 2023.
