Intel X-25M SSD for IDEA development: start & build from compiled sources - much faster, editing - almost the same, compiler & git - noticeably slower

slower?? how come? (I humbly moved out/ to another disk to improve build time slightly.) - 9000

Which OS do you use? On Window 7 there's considerable speedup of compilation and update on SSD drives since they have special support for such disks. - Konstantin Solomatov

what kind of "special support" on windows ? git is historically known to be slower in windows environment - A.T.

@AT Support for SSD in W7 - do not bother with access optimisation and about fragmentation and only OS knowing abot TRIM command at the moment. Though it is supported by device (X25) yet. - Alexey Gopachenko

Full rebuild is always about 3-4 timas faster for me, and you can't compare most of git commands because they are "always degrading". Also, did you check for virmare revision? - Alexey Gopachenko

I heard about some formatting of some-time-used SSD's to speed it up - Eugene Petrenko

what laptop do you have and what it the current bottleneck in your system now? (Thinking about fast SSD for IDEA, too) - Ildar Karimov

MacBook Pro, Snow Leopard, 3GB RAM (=> lots of swapping), full rebuild took 1.5 hours (previously 1 hour). No firmware upgrades yet. - Peter Gromov

Unnecessary write due to swapping will lead to SSD block-filling witch will require costly block-eraze-before-next-write operations. Even TRIM support wouldn't help much. You need to get rid of swapping. SSD IS best upgrade AFTER you have enough RAM. - Alexey Gopachenko

SSD block-filling witch! :) - Igor Sereda

Unfortunately this laptop model only supports 3GB (it detects 4, but uses 3). So was it all for nothing? - Peter Gromov

@Peter thanks! I have macbook pro also, but newer model with 4 GB RAM. - Ildar Karimov

@Alexey rare laptops supports more than 4 GB of RAM (and large memory modules aren't cheap al all) - Ildar Karimov

clarify please, are you discussing Generation one (black) or Gen2 (white ) version. (45nm vs 32nm) - Павел Романовский

Gen2 (34nm). It appears to need a firmware upgrade. - Peter Gromov

All new macbooks support 8G - and actually Snow Leopard demands MORE than 4G as for me... - Alexey Gopachenko

Saw a man in a Cambridge brasserie: in a wheelchair, speaks through computer voice generator. Suspicious.
