Processor speed

[SteM]

Hi all, iMX51 + WEC700.

Since last week, i obtained a OS image that seems to be faster than the older.

The only modifications was relative to the exclusion of IE7 sample and some modules related with FileSync.

Not only the device seems faster but also some (numerical) benchmarks show us an overall faster running.

I'm wondering how it is possible ...

Is is possibile that, under some circumstances, the micro slows down?

Any idea?

Deactivated user, have your observed this or do you have any comments?

We run some benchmarks, then i have 'numerical' results.

I opened a ticket on the Freescale's support and they replied me that probably some kernel module was not included, then the higher speed.

I think that it is quite strange for benchmarks with float .. is it possible that a kernel module slows down by half the numerical benchmark??

Of course, this higher speed is welcome but if 'tomorrow' i will recompile the image and i will loose thise speed, i will not know why and how to restore the previous state.
