13.4. Chapter Summary

In this chapter, we investigated a few of the areas where the set of Linux performance tools has shortcomings and proposed some ideal solutions. We also discussed why Linux is a good platform on which to try performance investigation and optimization.

It is up to you, the reader, to change Linux performance for the better. The opportunities for improvement of Linux performance and Linux performance tools abound. If you find a performance problem that annoys you, fix it or report it to the developers and work with them to fix it. Either way, no one else will be hit by the problem, and the entire Linux community benefits.
