and i repeat, i don't see any mesurable improvements in responsivity. but i did see regression on I/O throughput. do you get the point : "no mesurable responsivity increase" vs "mesurable troughput decrease". that's bad. > For example this urpmi install many package and my system become so less > responsive due to heavy disk I/O. > A premmpt kernel offer more responsivity and in an environment slow as > KDE, more responsitivity is a big plus. have you ever test this patch ? i did. promesses & goals are one thing. improvements & reality are another one. > what I'd liked with linux was the fact that while using my > printer/floppy/zip //, I could still doing others things normally ( > contrary to win9x ). > Now I'd like to be able to have a system more responsive when urpmi > install rpm or when eroaster convert mp3 to wav or when I'm compiling my > kernel or when I'm encoding something. as we all want :-) > Mandrake could give it a try.
