P500 performance

Tvall, would you give me permission to put this in bumblebee if it works?

Sure, go ahead. But its an iho kernel so I'm not sure how well it'll work on froyo. Maybe someone else could apply the same patches to a froyo kernel
 
What is a good setting in performance at 245/600 i dont see anything really. do i flash the kern.zip too with magpie?

I run whatever lowest is - 600 (my phone can't handle any more) with the interactive governor
 
OMFG a new kernel?!?!?!?!?! I've been waiting for so long... Of course I discover this after flashing, and updating/tweaking my build. :'(

*Edit* Mmmmmmm yummy...

You should make a thread for this kernel. It seems to be rocking socks. Quick question. Any reason the governor is set to conservative at default? It seems smooth as glass on the setting.

This kernel isn't really anything special. I'm surprised people like it. I'll ask bobzhome what he thinks of it first then decide where to go with it.
Conservative? I thought i set as ondemand.. I'm a noob.

It will work im sure, I'm using bobzhome 3.7 right now on froyo. The iho kernels are actualy the only kernels that work well with the newest virgin update. For some reason, screen rotation doesn't work with the froyo kernels. I don't know if I'll actually use it, but based on the comments here, it looks like you mights made something special :p

Anything to increase the responsiveness/performance my friend. And there is slight a difference between your tweaked kernel and bob's original. I think a main factor was by switching the I/O scheduler from deadline to sio. I also have v6 supercharger and KAK running. zooM...zooM...

there's also the bfs CPU scheduler (pita to get working.. lots of Googling) which is what I assumed made the most improvement. I also want to experiment with the bfq io scheduler (its already compiled in) but I'm kinda lazy (without the kinda)

From what I understand sio is preferred over bfq. Here is a tidbit I snagged from XDA. Good read if people want to get a better idea of how android works.

Link to thread: [REF][TWEAKS] Kernel Governors, Modules, I/O Schedulers, CPU Tweaks, AIO App Configs - xda-developers


Tidbit: 4) BFQ

Instead of time slices allocation by CFQ, BFQ assigns budgets. Disk is granted to an active process until it's budget (number of sectors) expires. BFQ assigns high budgets to non-read tasks. Budget assigned to a process varies over time as a function of it's behavior.

Advantages:

Believed to be very good for usb data transfer rate.
Believed to be the best scheduler for HD video recording and video streaming. (because of less jitter as compared to CFQ and others)
Considered an accurate i/o scheduler.
Achieves about 30% more throughput than CFQ on most workloads.

Disadvantages:

Not the best scheduler for benchmarking.
Higher budget assigned to a process can affect interactivity and increased latency.


5) SIO

Simple I/O scheduler aims to keep minimum overhead to achieve low latency to serve I/O requests. No priority quesues concepts, but only basic merging. Sio is a mix between noop & deadline. No reordering or sorting of requests.

Advantages:

Simple, so reliable.
Minimized starvation of requests.

Disadvantages:

Slow random-read speeds on flash drives, compared to other schedulers.
Sequential-read speeds on flash drives also not so good.
