Hi,
Is there any known serious performance issue with GEM on Ubuntu 64bit? Or is there some known problem with this OS on intel macs?
A friend of mine has just installed Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 on her Macbook pro which has an intel core duo 2.4GHz processor.
She has tried a patch which plays 4 videos at the same time and she experience much worse performance than I do with the same patch and same videos on my intel core duo 2.1 GHz pc.
The only differences appear to be the hardware and the fact she is using 64bit ubuntu while mine is 32bit.....
I'm not sure if the macbook may have a slower hard disk or a less powerful gpu, but the difference in performance is about a factor 2, it's huge.....
I know this is very little information but does this remember you of some known issue?
thanks m.
