I have read that SMP is enabled by default in the newer kernels, and this gives very poor performance (in 2.1.42 specifically) on uniprocessor machines. So, comment out SMP=1 in the top level Makefile and rebuild your kernel, if you don't need SMP. Personally, I'm staying away from the developmental kernels for now - I'm running SMP and have had the best luck with 2.0.14, and reports for newer kernels haven't looked that good for SMP. (They're in the middle of aggressive optimizations for SMP, so it's really no surprise!) Later, Dale -- +-------------------- finger for pgp public key ---------------------+ | Dale E.
