Hi,
Is there such a thing like a development/debug build for OpenWRT?
Could there be a reason for a performance difference between a stable image downloaded from this website and a manually built image from trunk?
(I'm thinking maybe some optimization flags)
This is totally speculative, but a couple of months ago I was testing the openvpn performance on an WR1043ND and I noticed a slight difference (10-15%) between my trunk build (slower) and stock Barrier Breaker 14.07. (faster)
I was using the exact same settings, keys and clients, and tested on wire/LAN.
Also, both builds used the same openvpn and openssl versions.
I know that there are other factors that may come into play, I'm just asking to make sure this isn't one of them.
Thanks.
