Tweedie" List-ID: Note that there are very few people who are testing interactive feel. I'd be happier with more people giving more subjective comments on how the system feels under heavy memory load. The only feedback I have so far says that pre-7 is much better than any of the pre-6 versions, but I'd be happier with more coverage depth and more comments from people in different circumstances. For example, what does it feel like when you're paging heavily and doing a "find" at the same time on a 16M machine? I know this is harder than just trying to determine the throughput of something, but the pre-6 thing certainly showed how dangerous it was to just look at numbers.
