LX,
I think most agreed that the .16mm MDK multimedia kernel was a better 
performer than the stock MDK.13 kernel. The 16mmxp version I just compiled 
does seem a little snappier than the i586 mm I had used before, but I don't 
have any hard data benchmarks to support that subjective opinion. I think 
I'll recompile my ck patched 2.4.21 version with the xp flags, and see how 
that performs.
