I noticed that Box64 startup time is slower on my setup (Graviton2) compared to a Raspberry Pi 5 demo. + +In this [youtube video](https://youtu.be/f7a7sJF3lYo?si=qcrfVxMr-UC6oIoU&t=462), Box64 appears to launch a Factorio server in about 2 seconds on a Pi 5. That setup follows the [PiMyLifeUp guide](https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-x64/). + +I'm measuring the time from whenI press enter to when the first factorio server log show up. + +I did the same setup steps on an AWS EC2 instance (Graviton2 / Neoverse N1, Ubuntu 22.04, 6.8.0-1029-aws), but the startup takes about 7 seconds instead. + +I built box64 with +`cmake .. -DARM64=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo` + +Here’s my CPU info: +``` +root@ip-172-31-33-12:~# lscpu +Architecture: aarch64 + CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit + Byte Order: Little Endian +CPU(s): 8 + On-line CPU(s) list: 0-7 +Vendor ID: ARM + BIOS Vendor ID: AWS + Model name: Neoverse-N1 + BIOS Model name: AWS Graviton2 AWS Graviton2 CPU @ 2.5GHz + BIOS CPU family: 257 + Model: 1 + Thread(s) per core: 1 + Core(s) per socket: 8 + Socket(s): 1 + Stepping: r3p1 + BogoMIPS: 243.75 + Flags: fp asimd evtstrm aes pmull sha1 sha2 crc32 atomics fphp asimdhp cpuid asimdrdm lrcpc dcpop asimddp ssbs +Caches (sum of all): + L1d: 512 KiB (8 instances) + L1i: 512 KiB (8 instances) + L2: 8 MiB (8 instances) + L3: 32 MiB (1 instance) +NUMA: + NUMA node(s): 1 + NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-7 +Vulnerabilities: + Gather data sampling: Not affected + Itlb multihit: Not affected + L1tf: Not affected + Mds: Not affected + Meltdown: Not affected + Mmio stale data: Not affected + Reg file data sampling: Not affected + Retbleed: Not affected + Spec rstack overflow: Not affected + Spec store bypass: Mitigation; Speculative Store Bypass disabled via prctl + Spectre v1: Mitigation; __user pointer sanitization + Spectre v2: Mitigation; CSV2, BHB + Srbds: Not affected + Tsx async abort: Not affected +``` + +Both Pi 5 and Graviton2 are based on Cortex-A76, so I expected similar performance. + +Is there anything I can try to reduce startup time? + +Thanks! \ No newline at end of file |
