O'Connor" Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org To: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu List-ID: I haven't done any quantitative measurements, but to be honest I really don't need to... 2.1.131ac5 (which appears to include Rik van Riel and Stephen Tweedie's latest MM patches) is _dramatically_ faster under all circumstances I've seen than any previous kernel on a 4MB 386SX/16. I have a feeling that percentages or multiples are fairly meaningless to quote, but it feels easily two to three times as fast for interactivity and program launch compared to 2.0.36. The difference is really rather staggering. Bravo! :) ethan o'connor zudark@mit.edu -- This is a majordomo managed list.
