mprove read and write performance

According to this post I found, concerning SSD, the following will greatly increase read and write performance on your SSD-disk (which happens to be the type of disk the Acer Aspire One has, the Linux-version anyway).

Simply do the following:

$ sudo su -
# mousepad /boot/grub/grub.conf

Now, add the elevator=noop option to the kernel-line, making this line:

kernel /boot/bzImage ro root=LABEL=linpus vga=0x311 splash=silent loglevel=1 console=tty1 quiet nolapic_timer

look like this:

kernel /boot/bzImage ro root=LABEL=linpus vga=0x311 splash=silent loglevel=1 console=tty1 quiet nolapic_timer elevator=noop

Save the file, close it, and reboot. Some have reported that there’s an increase in writespeeds going from 7.1MB/s to 9.1MB/s by adding this change. If it works or not, well, you can be the judge of that.

Is there a link ???
Opera browser seems to be out of order too
Any help would be welcome :idea:

 

Wow, the 'elevator=noop' thing made a huge difference to my AA1 (Linpus, 1gig memory, SSD), A dramatic increase in speed, it deserves a post of it's own in hacks and mods!
