I installed LXDE (with associated X stuff), wifi drivers/firmware, plus all the things I normally install. It doesn't come with anything pre installed, so you have to create the system yourself. I eventually installed devuan jessie (non systemd version of debian). I also tried removing swap, but it had no effect. I am using a U4 class sd card (95MB/s read) and a beefy power supply with a short cable. I would experience lags of a few seconds every now and then (several per minute) and things were just generally slow. I copied over my hardware decode keys and general settings (HDMI, overscan etc) and the system ran like a dog. I did a complete sd card dd, so there were no problems with incompatibilities. I upgraded my old wheezy rpi2 (which was actually working quite well) to jessie. Slightly old thread, but I might have some information. If you want to experiment with overclocking, then a heatsink and fan will definitely help. Although it's unlikely web browsing would heat the system up enough to throttle the CPU. An SSD booting from USB, or root filesystem on an SSD should be even faster, and might not even cost much more than a premium MicroSD card, as long as you don't need a lot of storage (small SSD drives are pretty cheap now).ĭepending on how hard you push your Pi3, adding a heatsink or fan might help by reducing or preventing throttling. They won't be that fast on the Pi3, but what sets them apart is their superior random I/O performance, and that really helps when used as a computer OS drive (most flash memory cards and USB drives have very poor random I/O performance). I use Samsung EVO+ cards that are rated at 80MB/s read and 20MB/s write, but actually test at 90MB/s read and 30MB/s write on my USB 3.0 Ultrabook. Unless you actually want to be a beta tester, in which case, go for it (and thank you)!Ī faster SD card could help.
There lots of other browsers available in Linux that you might want to test to find your perfect balance of features and performance.Ĭode: Select all sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -yFollowed by a reboot. I find Firefox-ESR or Iceweasel a bit better than Chromium on the Pi while still being feature rich browsers (Iceweasel is Debian's trademark free version of Firefox).
Install an ad-blocker on browsers used with the Pi to reduce resources used by that web content (I usually add a pop-up blocker as well, unless the browser has that ability built-in). I try to limit it to 2 or 3 tabs when browsing on my Pi3. I have 16 tabs open in Chrome on my i7 Ultrabook with 8GB of RAM and it's fine, but half that many would bring my Pi3 to its knees.
My 5+ year old Acer Netbook with an Atom N450 processor was faster at almost everything except 1080p video decoding, which the Pi's Broadcom GPU is very good at (which is why I added a Broadcom Crystal HD decoder to my Netbook). While it is extremely fast compared to the original Raspberry Pi (up to 10 times faster) it is not fast by mainstream computer standards. I don't know how fast you expected the Raspberry Pi3 to be, but do keep in mind it's based on mobile processor technology and only has 1GB of RAM. nevertheless, i dont understand we must tuned rpi3 like that to get a good UX for internet browsing It spent five weeks each on Aurora and Beta while later releases spent six weeks on each branch.Paralight is interesting.
Six week schedule from 2011 to 2015 (with some dates delayed to avoid conflicts with holidays).*Some release dates and merge dates are rescheduled to avoid conflicts with holidays. More details on contents of releases can be found in Wikipedia: Firefox release history. Note that the merge from beta to release happens ahead of time (usually on the Mon/Tue a week before the release date).
Please refer to one of the following calendars for up-to-date scheduling: This wiki page may not always have the most current information.
The release to users may be a few days later, to allow for manual testing and sign-off. Code is not always released to users on the same day as the branch migration.
Future dates may change if the process changes. This schedule is based on the current RapidRelease plan.
