As you use Cachy, you probably already knew, but Arch compiles for x86_64_v1 (all 64-bit x86 CPUs). While some packages (glibc, I think & codecs, for example) use compiler magic & assembly to use vector instructions when available, most packages compiled for Arch cannot make use of them. Some programs feel much faster when compiling them myself.
I wonder if clear Linux (Intel's distro) would have any noticeable improvement i performance? I think that Cachy might use a few of their patches.
Note: I'm very much not an Intel shill. I wouldn't want to actually use it, just interested in the performance.
Yeah, the defacto Arch packages are only compiled for v1, but CachyOS has compiled a lot of the core libraries for v3/v4 (including Wine), which is where I think I'm seeing some improvements. I'm sure the performance would be more optimized by compiling myself, but I don't have the time or patience for it right now.
