| Tristan Ross | I shouldn't even be getting noise in the first place since it's over USB. Even on my dedicated USB card, I actually get worse audio quality. | 22:45:22 |

I ran the same build under the two kernels 3 times in a row on each kernel and got the same 5 minutes difference This could be due to ld.bfd vs lld (assuming these are what the two stdenvs use for linking). Worth exploring... | 22:45:31 |
| Tristan Ross | I was thinking about asking some people at Ampere since I do have an Ampere CPU and the performance team has done a lot of testing as I've heard. | 22:46:13 |
 dramforever | lld should be faster than ld.bfd at processing linker relaxations... maybe | 22:48:05 |
| dramforever | i'm not sure how you would go about profiling this though | 22:48:21 |
| dramforever | oh nevermind it's not really building a riscv kernel | 22:48:42 |

i'm not sure how you would go about profiling this though IIRC there is a function for "just change the linker" for use with replaceStdenv, so the two can be compared in isolation. | 22:49:19 |

gathering dust Great, then you don't even need it to work | 20:58:57 |
