Sata disk performance

For SATA disks it could be usefull to tune your disk a bit for large reads. If your disk is mounted as sda (as you can see if you enter 'mount' in a terminal you can change it as:

echo "512" > /sys/block/sda/queue/max_sectors_kb
echo "256" > /sys/block/sda/queue/read_ahead_kb

IVTV 10.2 driver

Enabling VBI on version 10.2 of the ivtv driver is not a good idea. IRQ overloading is the result.

MySQL tweaks appears out of date
