With the TTSIOD 3D Renderer computationally intense test, the two Intel systems performed slightly better with the Liquorix kernel over the stock Ubuntu 12.04 kernel. The FX-8150 eight-core Bulldozer performance went unchanged.

The libvpx VP8 video encoding performance lagged behind with the Liquorix kernel, except for the Core 2 Duo notebook where its performance was nearly unchanged.

The x264 video test profile exhibited no large change in performance between the two kernels and three systems.
