Fortunately a lot of people are aware of the problem and we spent a lot of time talking about it at expo and Usenix. I think we've got a good handle on how to start tackling the obvious problems, but there will still be a lot of tuning required before we can release a 2.2 kernel and call it stable. I'll write up an outline of what I think we need to start doing once I'm back from Usenix. --Stephen
