I use both tear and microb. Tear is a bit faster but is a bit buggier aswell.
Anyhow i finally figured out how to do all these browser and kernal tweaks and i must say microb is much faster now!(still needs to be faster in my opinion tho) Also the kernal tweaks have improved the entire system response time. The n810 is noticeably faster now in everything! Im sure there's a penalty involved somewhere for doing all this but ive yet to notice it. So far just an increase in speed of the system.

The original poster said to use a 32 meg swap so i set it for this but by default this n810 already had a 128meg swap? Should i revert it back to 128 or would this slow down the system again?

Go with the larger swap. Also, I've noticed no negatives at all from the MicroB tweaks I've done. (I also use it sometimes in addition to tear.) (In fact, the only commonly recommended tweak I've ever done that caused me problems was installing screen rotation.)

Ok i put it back to 128meg swap. I really couldnt tell the difference from 32 and 128. Mabey it just effects performance for multi tasking. Screen rotation i got working perfectly first shot. Ive read about alot of people having trouble tho. Mabey the gods blessed this linux newb! lol

Ive been testing the n810 running emulators, games and progs and so far i cant see any negatives with the kernal tweaks. Diablo is at least 30% faster. Games and such play at the same speed of course(cpu issue) but menu's and everything OS related is very quick now.

Id recomend everyone to try the kernal tweaks, it will give an immediate boost in system performance.

If something wierd does go wrong tho dont blame me! lol backup everything first!

Just made these tweaks to my N810, and it has made a noticable difference indeed.

microb is better, but for me the changes have really made a massive difference to A2DP streaming. MP3s are now perfect, and the tablet will even manage to play my fave internet radio station with just a bit of breakup, whereas before it would not stream at all over bluetooth.

will this thread info pertain to my usage?

Install ramzez and make a 64 mb ramzswap partition. It really makes a difference.

Does this require a reflash or can I do this on top of current configuration?

just wanted to bump this and share my feedback. I installed the browser tweeks and noticed microb become much more responsive while loading/switching sites. i was extremely pleased so I decided to tweek the settings as well. it does indeed make a nice difference in the snappiness. the main speed gains I have noticed is from the included applications that came with Diablo ( microb, contacts, ect) microb actually opens its window now before the "loading..." in the top right closes. seems like a good 2-3 second difference. I did all the mods listed on the first page ecept the disabling of the media search for included media player. i was not sure what it would do so I didnt touch it. post if you need help and I'll try my best to help u

About kernel tweaks, see post #93

About microb tweaks, check gmail if you use it. Those aggressive connection restrictions cause a noticeable degradation of performance in gmail.

Hey There!

Have you ever heard about DiabloTurbo?

Is the script to run all these tunings at one time.
