Phoronix IRC Log: 2008-10-25

johoja: any admins around?
johoja: no one?
Kano: hi michaellarabel , did you ever record a video from desktop?
michaellarabel: Anyone happen to have Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10, 8.04, and 8.10 all installed on the same system right now?
dmb: lol
dmb: highly unlikely
michaellarabel: I think there may be a very serious performance regression between 7.04 and 7.10
redeeman: michaellarabel: but 7.10 is uninterresting as it's obsolete
michaellarabel: redeeman: But the regression hasn't been fixed in 8.04 or 8.10
redeeman: well :P
redeeman: that's different then
dmb: michaellarabel, what kind of regression is it? What area?
michaellarabel: dmb: At first I thought it was just GCC, but out of 35 tests run on 7.04, 7.10, 8.04, and 8.10, this problem has occurred in probably 25 of the 35.
redeeman: did you consider the kernel?
redeeman: or libc?
michaellarabel: Still looking into it
