Phoronix: A Look At Ubuntu 10.04 To Ubuntu 18.04 Linux Performance

With the Ubuntu 18.04 "Bionic Beaver" release fast approaching and it being the latest Long-Term Support release, the latest benchmarking at Phoronix has been looking at how the Ubuntu LTS performance has evolved going as far back as the Ubuntu 10.04.0 LTS "Lucid Lynx" release. On three systems where supported Ubuntu 10.04 / 12.04 / 14.04 / 16.04 / 18.04 were tested each time.

All of these benchmarks from Ubutnu 10.04 to 18.04

In the case of AOBench, at least here the i7-990X system ddin't regress as badly from 12.04 to 14.04 and has been improving since.

Looking at the graphs on OpenBenchmarking.org, they don't entirely match the graphs in the article. For example, https://openbenchmarking.org/prospec...f5ec059f964899 doesn't have the drop at 14.04 for the i7-990X.

On that OB prospect page they got missorted, the graphs in the article should be accurate.

I noticed that kernel compilation time on 2500k is 150 seconds, am I reading that correctly? Sorry for stupid question but my 2500k cpu usually needs about half an hour to finish that. Am I missing something?

Are you using a defconfig (default configuration) kernel or some like distribution-level kernel with all the extra modules enabled, etc?

it vastly depends on the .config, my embedded arm, mips, or original i386 kernel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afwIZDtrRj4) build in 2-4 minutes. My all-modules-wherever-possible universal desktop / server kernel build 30 minutes on the same Epyc CPU, …

Kernel compilation time also depends a lot on the hard disk performance, how does your drive compare to the test system in question?

It is defconfig, to be exact it is usually linux-mainline from AUR. But on my laptop (core i3 4010u) it is even worse (2 whole hours including headers and docs).

Config is default (Arch Linux), and 'localmodconfig' doesnt work for me there is always something missing (mouse, LVM stuff, encryption stuff,...)
