I cheked the work of the new kernel and came into two features:

On network file transfers. It seems 10-15% slower than previous kernels. 
And this situation is observed both on SMB and NCP. On NFS it does not 
seem to be significatively slower but it strangely behaves by foing up 
and down in the bit rate. Usually I get something around 2.45Mb/sec (+- 
0,2Mb). Now it sometimes jumps nearly 3.1Mb/sec. and drops down to 2.2-2.4.

There is one program that is quite popular among some movie fans - 
aviplay. Till the last kernel (Boudjonah's special breed) it worked ok. 
Now it claims it can't find the "time-stamp counter". This is the tsc 
register own Intel processors. The same happens on the original test-11.

Oh. And i2c patches do break v4l, specially this is related to bttv's 
drivers as some chipsets (mine included) demand i2c support. The 
original test-11 kernel  everything gets compiled without problems.

And one last thing: I used gcc 2.96 as usual.
