Comment Re:Say no to emulation, bridges, etc. (Score 1) 44

Most of the CPU time spent by game is not spent in the main binary file, but in system libraries: 3D graphics (via DIrect3D, OpenGL, or Vulkan), physics simulation library, etc. According to the article, Fex would emulate the amd64 instruction set for a while, but also translate the library calls, which allows the use of native Arm libraries, with only a thin translation layer in between, not really different from what you need to call c library from a python code.

People who think this is a good idea obviously live alone and work in an individual sealed office. Otherwise they'll know that as soon as you start talking on your own, people around will either ask you what's up, or get really worried about your mental health. Try to imagine an open space office, with a dozen people mumbling to they're laptops in unison, and how is that supposed to work out.

In theory, but in practice I found that its performances are closer to that of the backing HDD than the SSD. It is similar for the bcache kernel module to be fair. Using ZFS on HDD with L2ARC and LOG on SSD is comically slow. The only thing I found to give a real performance improvement is LVM cache, which is as fast as SSD as long as there is room on the SSD.
