Originally posted by LightBit View PostCFS and CFQ are very related. Windows 7 never lagged like Linux when copying large files. CFQ is fine for servers, but deadline is better for servers (faster read).

I am having a problem when copying large files in Windows 7. (By 'large files' I mean my steamapps folder, which is around 30gb but it hangs pretty early on the bigger 1gb+ files.) After about 30-60 s
CFQ is very fine for desktop. I have XP next to Kubuntu and from my experience SQL performance sucks badly in Windows XP. It makes Firefox sometimes unusable. In Kubuntu it's very fast and responsive.
FreeBSD SMP performace is very close to Linux.

It is why I don't use Ubuntu, Mint, or a few of the other fast release cycle linux distros. 6 month releases are too fast given the way the linux kernel is developed. I can remember countless times where features that used to work in Ubuntu/Mint that break in the next cycle because it seems like every single time a new kernel is released, it breaks everything and there is always something missed in the testing of the new kernel for these distros. That is why debian is popular, it picks a kernel and doesn't release until everything is thoroughly tested.

Which SQL?
Databases are for servers.
Are you aware Windows XP was released in 2001?

Originally posted by kraftman View PostWhat BSD? It's like comparing some desktop focused BSD to OpenBSD which has different policy. BSD aren't more stable than Debian or RHEL. What's good in Linux it's the big choice. Also, Ubuntu is much more feature rich than any BSD, so it's like comparing apples to oranges.
