AFAIK the people working on WLROOTS are also making Sway, so if WLROOTS adds support, it would be weird if Sway didn't....

But these were not benchmarks of a LTO / PGO optimized kernel, they were benchmarks of userspace programs, I'm sorry I don't follow your train of thought...

[Grinch]

I don't see how this option would affect these benchmarks ? It will only affect code not used by the training run, these benchmarks does the exact same...

Judging by your comment, you don't have a clue, actually I doubt you've even used it....

[Grinch]

Why not ? These are mostly narrow purpose programs, compressor, chess engine, video encoding, neural network, the codepaths will be very similar between...

Agreed, coupled with the majority of people coming out of CS these days being more interested in / having worked with, LLVM, and they are then hired at...

[Grinch]

The Go benchmarks are particularly interesting as they are unaffected by the CC,CXX compiler flags, thus any improvement in performance there should mean...

[Grinch]

From the kernel perspective, I don't see the general usage patterns being very different unless you are doing very specific workloads, like a server,...

[Grinch]

Without profile guided optimization, the compiler makes a ton of educated guesses in regards to what parts of the code is 'hot' (as in called very often),...

A lot of people seem to lack understanding of what development entails. Regressions are common when working on complex code, the Linux kernel is extr...
