Section on boot times?

How about a section with a list of boot times, for various distros, SD cards, with/without booting to GUI, etc? FlyingLotus1983 02:56, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

According to me that seems a good idea. Jukimatori 12:47, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

SD card benchmarking

New test procudure for SD cards needed?

Write tests should include time which is needed to write all data into card (=sync) And before read tests file cache should be cleared.

Now people have two memory sizes which means that more ram is available for cache therefore results will be different with old and new model.

dd if=/dev/zero of=~/test.tmp bs=500K count=1024
time sync
sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
dd if=~/test.tmp of=/dev/null bs=500K count=1024 
sudo rm /mnt/test.tmp
time sync
