tar xzvf patch.tar.gz

if didn't work then the problem is in your tar

just retested it

Correct me if I am wrong. First, as I understand, it should work only if you have bash as your default shell. So you need to set it as such shell to make the solution work. Second, what effect are you talking about? It should assign cgroups according to the shell session the process was started. There could be effect if you start something heavy in a new shell session comparing to the situation when there is no such assignment, but not in the regular case. Third, it is actual mostly for multi-core systems, but our n900 has only one CPU.

Guys, if you feel an effect after applying this, are you sure it is not a placebo?

It will be placebo for exactly the reasons you say - if the aim is to speed up interactivity for the things people generally do on the N900 using their fingers, this script will make no measurable difference.

first i don't realy understand what does this patch do (that is why it is called miracle patch)

second i wouldn't post a new thread if it wasn't working

ok here i 'm tellng you what exactly happened with me

i was surfing the internet like a normanl person then the webpages i'm viewing get to more +10
in that point N900 gets laggy while multitasking (very laggy)

at the sane time i tried the patch without a reboot
suddenly the multitask lags are gone!!!!!!!!!!! so
the patch has done it's job

well after that i tried scroling at contacts app (as i use it a lot)
and i have felt at least 2x faster scroll

so do you think my n900 is special to accept this patch?
i don't think so

Anyway i was expecting a lot of guys to say it is not working
well i don"t care i just loved it and shared it
and now i realy have a super N900

i've applied it and we'll see how it goes.... thanks for the tip and effort. will provide feedback after a while.. seeing how playing games and watching streaming videos go...

how to check if the patch is successfully applied?

working smooth and awesome

you need to

cd /dev/cgroup/cpu
ls

you should see some files and directories

EDIT : but you may need a reboot to check

i tried typing
cd /dev/cgroup/cpu
ls

but nothing happens... it does go up to the /dev/cgroup/cpu directory but typing ls does nothing... i did reboot after applying the patch

hold on
take a look at this:

Note that these files are created and deleted while running or closing apps
so i was lucky getting them in a screen shot as i was running a lot of apps

anyway as long as the directory cgroup is created that means the patch has been successfuly applied
