Phoronix: Preview: Fedora 20 Updated vs. Fedora 21 Rawhide Benchmarks

While Fedora 21 remains under heavy development, for some new benchmarks to get July started I ran some tests of a stock Fedora 20 installation versus Fedora 20 with all stable updates versus Fedora 21 in its "Rawhide" state.

have you tried the nodebug kernels?

Rawhide kernels with debugging turned off are produced at https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/al...ernel-nodebug/ (although sometimes out of sync or with a bit of delay). It might be interesting to see the results using these instead of the current rawhide kernel.

yeah.... testing Fedora Rawhide is pointless when the packages are all built in debug mode, whereas the normal release isn't.

Note that this is a misconception. Only the kernels have debug info on and are rebuild specially. Most of rawhide is built with the normal build flags.
