Start up speed: Vivaldi on Windows 10 vs. MX-17 on SSD
-
On MX-17 Linux: 4 seconds
On Windows 10: 11 seconds.(Firefox on Windows takes 5 seconds).
Btw, all tests on warmed up machines and browsers (same extensions in sync).
-
That's cool Gwen!
According to WiseCare - Win10 usually boots in 32 sec.
But, by the time the system is completely usable, it takes another min. for sure!
Used to take at least 2 min. to boot on regular HDD (just to boot).Edge starts in a flash, but who uses it?
-
My 5 years old ssd 2 seconds with 2 extensions

I have an old HP Mini with Atom processor running Mint 17.3 and latest stable Vivaldi Stable and FF.
I expect slowness even though I have pared down Mint to have only what i need. No Gimp or LibreOffice.
However the latest few snapshots have taken much longer to launch. I can spend 10 to 30 seconds waiting for the white screen with the V to turn into the Startpage with my HP Pavillion, i5, 16GB RAM... -
@greybeard Curious. My HP Pavilion AMD A10 (3.6 GHz) with 16GB RAM takes 4 sec to open Vivaldi, including a half second to change from the V splash screen to a populated tab. My HP Pavilion with an old Core2 Quad (2.83 GHz) and 8GB RAM takes 5 sec including about .75 sec to populate a tab.

According to this article :
https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/optimize-an-ssd-on-linux/
You can upgrade SSD firmware (never thought or done that before).
Have to open up the laptop.Solus is probably among the quickest to load on my laptop (but it's buggy) but it does have Vivaldi in its repo by default!
-
For the record, have done an upgrade to the SSD firmware and things haven't improved.

Laptop ACER 10 years, WIN 7 / 32, Boot time ready to go online 45 s, Vivaldi, last stable, 15 extensions 5-6 s.

@catweazle - good for you!
Once upon a time, someone told me that there should be no difference in load time on Linux or Windows.

Linux is certainly faster than Windows, but you can also touch up Windows to make this difference small.
For example, Windows, by default, loads many unnecessary services, programs and drivers, which slow down the system and can be disabled. This already cuts out the boot-time a lot and saves a good amount of memory.
Especially when you have a PC with limited resources, good maintenance is important, such as keeping the registry in good condition, looking for a light antivirus, important to maintain a good speed of the system (I use Panda), not to abuse visual effects. keep the system and drivers up to date, etc. -
@catweazle -not a OS load issue, but browser startup speed one.

I really do not understand, I have many extensions and even then it does not take more than 5-6 s, more or less the same as the other browsers I have, including Avant and this new thing from Opera Neon.

I had thought it was getting better after the 1.14.1042.3 snapshot but not so when I first start Vivaldi after the computer has been Powered Down.
I'd have thought this would make it a quicker start as everything is in a fresh state?! -
@greybeard Try clearing your downloads panel.
Cold start from Windows boot is always going to be slower than a warm restart. Less than 5 seconds here for a warm restart.
Specs: AMD A10-6800K, 8 Gb on Win 10 64-bit • Snapshot 1.14.1042.3 (64-bit)

The only thing I have done is to deactivate the option to warn of updates of Vivaldi, since I have noticed that on the one hand it remains permanent in memory, although I have the browser closed and on the other hand it slowed the boot of the browser
Participating in the forum I also find out about new versions without needing this app. -
@catweazle - think you're right.
Disabling Vivaldi update notification seems to have shaved off 2 seconds.
Maybe i should go back to Windows 7 too! -

Windows 10 is to Windows 7 what was Vista to XP. -
