Best methods to speed up and increase performance of Linux?

I would like this thread to be dedicated to various speed up techniques and performance tweaks for Linux and especially arch.
K.Mandla offers quite a bit of interesting tweaks in the guide "Howto: Set up Hardy for speed", most of it applies to all linux distros.

You will most likely end up wasting a lot of time for very little gain.
There are no miracle solutions, you either use faster apps or buy faster hardware.
The tweaks which are truly interesting without major drawbacks usually make their way on a default system, one way or another.
For example, for directory index on ext3 :
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ext … ystem_Tips : "Note: Directory indexing is activated by default in Archlinux via /etc/mke2fs.conf"
So if you want an advice, there are areas more interesting to explore, like programming for instance. You might end up having the capability to really improve apps performance, or write your own lighter alternatives.

I'm using Aperture for photos on my Mac, I have near 450G of raw photos and I'm running short on space,what is the best option to imrpove proformance and increase space.?

I use Aperture on my Mac and have approx 450Gigs of raw files for my photos and growing. I'm running short on space and system is starting to slow down. What are the best ooptions to improve performance and increase space space.?

important to note that what you are talking about is not a backup
It is simple to ahve your iPhoto library on an external drive -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
And you can have multiple i{Photo libraries - one can be on your internal drive and other on an external drive -- iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - is a very helpful tool for managing multiple libraries

Best Methods for Time, Tempo and Rhythm Alignment?

Hello All, I am looking to edit some lengthy jams to concise segments. I wish to mix and match audio tracks (ex. drum section from begining with bass section in middle with guitar section at end). No metronome was used, so while the general structure (melody and rhythm) remained similar, tempos vary so that the parts don't match up perfectly. I know Logic has some pretty powerful time-based editing capabilities through its flex mode, but i am confused where the logical starting point would be for my situation. Do you think it would be to first chop up segments, pick a q-reference, set a global tempo, stretch or compress segments, and then individually correct any remaining rhythm alignment issues? What do you think are the best methods to accomplish this? I hope my questions are clear - if not please tell me. Thanks to anyone who cares and can help!

New Mac on the way - Best method of moving data and apps?

Is the Mac Migration Assistant the best way to move over my data and applications from my old 13" MBP to my new 15" MBP? Or is it best to reinstall my apps manually?
Thanks in advance.

Use the Migration Assistant. Their are specific files not in the application folder that contain preferences and the like. The Migration Assistant will move over those preferences as well as the applications themselves. Plus it takes WAY less time.

Best method to stop game and make a 3,2,1 countdown on screen?

Hi,
Was wondering if I wanted to stop my game so that no input and all ai action seized what the best way to do it is, is there a way besides stop every listener and every timer and ai event?
Also I want to kind of make a big 3,2,1 countdown appear in the middle of the screen, what is the best way to do that?? make the symbols and then going visible->invisible for each?
Thanks

One way you could probably weave in to stop everything in one shot is to have a boolean variable that you set true/false that is used for every event handler function or other function that might be activated. Meaning the first line inside a function is a conditional to test the value of that boolean... that conditional being the gateway to the rest of the code. But if you intend to truly shut down the works, then stopping all listeners and processing piece by piece would be your safest bet.
There are a varety of ways you could do a countdown. Just using a textfield might suffice. Or maybe you want something more graphical where a movieclip changes frames or something. There really are too many options for you to need to ask... just think what you'd like to see and do it.

Brightness/Contrast in CS6 - Best Method?

Hi there,
Can anyone please tell me what is the best method for adjusting brightness and contrast in CS6? Is it by simply adjusting the Brightness/Contrast properties in an Adjustment Layer or is there a better way of going about it?
Thanks!

The advice I have gotten is use it on an adjustment layer. It's "non-destructive", won't permanently alter your picture and you can return to the picture for further adjustments or delete the layer later on.
When using the brightness/contrast setting, try the Auto button first, and if you are not satisfied with that, set brightness to 100, contrast to 50 and adjust from there.
Leave the "Legacy" box unchecked. It mimics how the older versions of b/c use to behave, causing clipping.
Yes, there are better ways, like curves,but I'm assuming you want to work with b/c for now.

Best way in using models & Increasing performance

Hi all,
I had some doubts in creation of model objects.
1.How many RFCs can a model object can contain?
2.I had a business senario where i had to use 4 Fm for performing a task.If i craete a single model object for this 4 Fun modules.Will it increase performance or else creating a model object for each fun module.will incresae the performance.
3.Are there any good docs in SDN for Best practices or performance increasing in creation and using of model objects.please do paste the links or anyone have any docs plz send me.
Thanks & Rgards,
Lokesh

HI...
1.How many RFCs can a model object can contain?
SAP recommonds...
RFC Connection pools are specific to JCO Destination.
Therefore, all deployed applications using the same model object pointing to the same JCO destination will share the SAME CONNECTION POOL.
This fact defines both the scope of the connection management and determines the number of oncurrent application that may use the JCO destination.
A MODEL OBJECT SHOULD CONTAIN THOSE RFMS THAT SUPPLY THE FUNCTIONALITY OF EITHER A DISCRETE BUSINESS TASK OR SOME ATOMIC SUBSET OF THE BUSINESS TASK
-> HAVING ONE RFM PER MOEDL IS INEFFICIENT FROM A CONNECTION MANAGEMENT POINT OF VIEW.
-> HAVING ALL YOUR RFMS IN ONE BIG MODEL OBJECT IS INEFFICIENT FROM A REUSE POINT OF VIEW
2.I had a business senario where i had to use 4 Fm for performing a task.If i craete a single model object for this 4 Fun modules.Will it increase performance or else creating a model object for each fun module.will incresae the performance.
As above described if the RFMs supply the functionality for a single task then put it in one model
3.Are there any good docs in SDN for Best practices or performance increasing in creation and using of model objects.please do paste the links or anyone have any docs plz send me.
This is described in JA310 ( Web dynpro JAVA) book. you can download it from marketplace.

Which is best method to improve the performance

Hi,
I have one scnerio, to meet this requirement i have two methods
My requirement is to get the data from multiple tables, so i am developing a query based on joins and this query may give approx 80000 rows.
To meet this requirement i have two methods.
I have confusion which is the best method to improve the performance.
Method #1
for i in <query>
loop
end loop;
Here we are retriving row by row(80000 rows) from data base and applying our logic
Method #2
By using the BULKCOLLECT at a time we are getting all the rows(80000 rows) into plsql table.
then loop is based on plsql table
for i in 1..plsqltable.count
loop
end loop;
Here we are retriving row by row(80000 rows) from plsql table instead of going to data base.
Can any body please suggest which is the best to improve the performance

Using BULK COLLECT will give you better performance with a large data set because there will be reduced IO with this method versus the traditional CURSOR FOR LOOP. Database Admin's (DBAs) typically don't like BULK COLLECT because developers tend to forget to limit the number of rows returned by the BULK COLLECT operation so it could use up too much memory. Take a look at DEVELOPER: PL/SQL Practices On BULK COLLECT By Steven Feuerstein for some great tips on using BULK COLLECT. Another good Feuerstein article is: Bulk Processing with BULK COLLECT and FORALL.
As others have mentioned, you should have posted your question in the PL/SQL forum. ;)
Hope this helps,
Craig...

Best method to create a spinnable flower windmill for iPad and Android

What is the best method to create a spinnable flower windmill for iPad and Android? I want to be able to drag and spin. The faster you drag, the faster it should spin. Each petal will have an image which will be its own link. Any links to tutorials, toolkits, and recent examples are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Here's a whell that spins, but it has a spin button instead of being able to drag it:

Seems to me the best ui would be to be able to drag it and stop it or drag it and spin it at various speeds.

MB990 and SL - Fan speed is not increasing automatically

Hi Guys,
Two days ago I changed my macbook's hard drive to a bigger one and did a fresh install of Snow Leopard.
As soon as I installed the SL I noticed my computer was running hotter than the previous installation. Without doing anything, my macbook is reaching 75C (167F).. I have already checked the activity monitor and no process is using the CPU. Now I realized that the fan speed is not increasing automatically, it is always fixed at 2000rpm even if the temperature reaches 72C.. I have already tried a SMC reset but the problem persists..
Does anyone know a solution for this? The problem is the fan speed that is not increasing..
I'm having to use smcFanControl to control de fan speed manually. Before the fresh install I was using Snow Leopard updated from the Leopard and I was not facing this problem.
Thanks a lot!

Hi there... i have the same problem. my temperature gets up to 75C with just one window open in safari or google chrome. I have downloaded smc Fancontrol but ...its not enough. have u solved this problem yet? i'm going in to the Genius Bar tomorrow to see if they can help.

How to check which is th best method to use in LSMw and the file

Hi all,
I am new to LSMW,
Can know me when i get the file , how to check the which is the Best method ( Batch input, Direct input,BAPI, IDOC) have to use in LSMW .
How to check the input file is completely filled and how to check whether it is correct and also how to Prevalidation check has to be done fior the file before uploading.
Can you provide any documents LSMW also Apprecited.
Regards,
Madhavi

Hi Madhavi,
To check Correctness & completeness of the file:
1. The input file structure should be same as source structure what you defined whicle creating LSMW.
2. Check the following steps to assure the field mapping is done correctly.
a) Maintain field mapping & conversion rule
b) Check 'Display Read data'
c) Check ' Display Converted data''
Please note LSMW is a tool, which will simply upload the data whatever you are providing. So you need to be careful while making your file and validate it outside SAP ( before upload start)

Best Method for transferring projects back and fourth

Hello. I will soon be purchasing an iMac for home use and would like to get some advice on project transfer. I will be doing a lot of video editing back and fourth between the office and home. What is the best method for doing this? Where can i locate the files to make sure that I have everything and wont be missing anything when I bring it home, etc. Thanks for any advice!
Brandon

Use a (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD to keep your media, events and projects on.
You can then take the drive to work with you and back home. Use FCP X to transfer (or create) the event and projects on this drive and both macs will recognise it.
The drive must be formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled is not important for video drives).
