Extreme runtime performance tuning for EasyOS

I have been experimenting with runtime tuning of EasyOS in order to push the system to the maximum level of responsiveness possible without modifying the kernel or rebuilding the system.

The result is a small script called:

pp4mnk-boot-optimizer ULTRA FAST

It applies a set of low-level Linux optimizations a few seconds after boot, once the system has stabilized.

The goal is simple:

    Make EasyOS feel instant, reactive and extremely smooth, especially for browsing and desktop work.

What the script actually does

The script applies optimizations in five important areas of the Linux kernel.
1. Memory behaviour tuning

It modifies several VM parameters to improve responsiveness.

    swappiness = 5
    Prevents the system from using swap too aggressively.
    vfs_cache_pressure = 30
    Keeps filesystem metadata cached longer for faster file access.
    dirty_background_ratio = 3
    dirty_ratio = 10

These control how the kernel flushes data to disk, helping reduce latency and avoiding large write bursts.

Result:

    faster file access
    smoother system behaviour under load
    less unnecessary disk activity

2. CPU responsiveness

The script sets all CPUs to the performance governor:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

This removes CPU frequency scaling delays and ensures the processor reacts 
immediately when workload appears.

Result:

    instant UI reactions
    faster application launches
    smoother browsing

3. Disk performance

It increases the read-ahead buffer:

/sys/block/*/queue/read_ahead_kb

Set to:

256 KB

This helps sequential disk operations and improves loading speed.

Result:

    faster program loading
    smoother file operations
    improved streaming and reading performance

4. Network latency tuning

Several TCP parameters are optimized:

somaxconn
tcp_fin_timeout
tcp_tw_reuse
tcp_fastopen

Effects:

    faster connection reuse
    reduced socket waiting time
    improved responsiveness for web browsing

5. Process priority optimization

The script boosts priority for the core graphical stack:

Xorg
jwm
rox

and also for web browsers (THE THREE I USE THE MOST)

Slimjet
Firefox
Chromium

using:

renice

This ensures that the desktop and browser processes receive higher scheduling 
priority.

Result:

    smoother window movement
    faster UI feedback
    improved browsing responsiveness

Logging (essential )

The script logs its actions to:

/tmp/pp4mnk-ultrafast.log

So you can easily check if it ran correctly.

This log file is essential for verifying whether the script actually executed 
and behaved as expected. By reviewing it, you can confirm that the script 
started correctly, see the steps it performed, detect potential errors, and 
understand if any part of the process failed or was skipped.

Checking the log is therefore the primary way to diagnose issues and confirm 
that the script is functioning properly. If something does not work as
 intended, the log will usually contain the relevant messages needed to 
 identify the cause.
How to install it

Installation is extremely simple.
1. Download the Script

DOWNLOAD THE SCRIPT (and include it in your Startup folder)

/root/Startup/pp4mnk-boot-optimizer

2. Make it executable

(IF IT HAS NOT BEEN DONE)

Open ROX, look for this script in your startup folder, right click on it, 
Properties, and mark ALL EXEC selectors.
3. Reboot EasyOS

At the next boot the script will run automatically after a short delay.
Who should try it?

This script is useful for every EasyOS user, but especially interesting for:

    EasyOS power users
    people running EasyOS from RAM
    users focused on maximum responsiveness
    those using Slimjet / Firefox / Chromium heavily
    people experimenting with desktop performance tuning

Why this can be interesting us.

EasyOS is already extremely fast, but Linux systems still allow additional
runtime tuning.

This script explores how far we can push interactive performance without
 modifying the system itself.

It may help discover:

    better VM parameters for EasyOS
    optimal browser scheduling
    improvements for desktop responsiveness

Important note

This is experimental tuning.

It should work well on most systems, but:

    Always test and observe behaviour on your own hardware.

EasyOS makes this kind of experimentation easy thanks to its safe
 architecture and rollback capabilities.
Feedback requested

If you try pp4mnk-boot-optimizer ULTRA FAST, please share:

    hardware
    EasyOS version
    browser used
    perceived performance changes

I’m especially interested in feedback from advanced EasyOS users.

Your impressions will help refine the next version ( ??? )
