Benchmarks: gtk+ engines revisited
Six months ago I posted some benchmarks of popular gtk+ engines. It's time to revisit those benchmarks and test the engines again, this time using FOSS drivers for my new hardware.
For this updated round of testing, I used the same gtk+ engines, but also added some new ones. These can all be obtained by installing the following packages: gtk-engines, gnome-themes, gtk-engines-aurora, gtk-engines-candido, gtk-engines-rezlooks, and gtk-engines-xfce. New to the testing list are the Crux, ThinIce, HighContrast, and Redmond95 engines.
Once again, gtkperf-0.40 was used to obtain these benchmarks. With the exception of the graphics hardware and driver, the testing environment is mostly the same. Xfce has been updated to 4.6.1.
Let's see how all these engines perform on my Xfce workstation, eh?

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
