Pointing out the obvious why doesn't somebody test core 3 against a fully source built distro like Gentoo and see if the performance gains are real - thats not just benchmark, but perceived responsiveness. If
Even better, test un unoptimized Gentoo against an optimized one. That way, you'll have identical versions of tested software.
That's the best suggestion. In theory, I think optimized/unoptimized builds of gentoo leading to a comparison would support the main argument here. I for one have built KDE from qt on up optimized versus unoptimized with no noticeable gain in anything.
True, my 1.3Ghz athlon doesnt even break a sweat in the CPU stakes doing most jobs.
A request for core 4
If more people has the fantastic 'kcpuload' tool available it would give them a better idea whats going on. Its in the kde archive, can it go back into core 4 as a default applet. Gnome has a good cpu monitor, but the best one kde has is missing from core ?
