My Laptop feels 5 times faster after today's Debian/testing update!!!
My old laptop running on Debian/testing since the update from today
flies like a rocket!! It before was fine, I didn't feel any need to
upgrade the hardware. Concerning its responsiveness I attributed small
delays to my WiFi connection being slow because of being far away from
the WLAN router, and the rest because of running my OS off from an
USB-Stick. But now I see three superb effects: all apps in general
appear to start up much faster, like at triple speed, contents in the
RIOT messenger and in the Firefox browser load at least at fivefold
speed, and all screen rendering, bang, it simply bursts onto the screen!
It is most likely the fortunate combination of various packages which
all became updated today!
It will not be the kernel. The kernel upgrade from today is not the one
addressing the version which is actively running. For the web browsing
(download and rendering of pages) there could be an effect by the
upgrade to Firefox v78. But this would not explain the significantly
increased speed observed also for all other applications.
I am pretty sure that these two updates have boosted my felt system
speed significantly:
