faster? ok, after an app run 30 secs, it starts to speed up, but try to move a xawtv/xawdecode window around directly after the start. Or Xine, or xmms. It is jerky at its best, it is horrible, sound in ut2003-demo is totally screwed, FPS are lower AND kmail needs more than triple the time to close, than with a 2.4 kernel. So, I am not happy with 2.6. It is slower (boot is faster, but I do not boot hourly), movements of fresh started are jerky and I get an devfsd-oops everytime X starts. Oh, and thousands of non-fatal mce errors after some hours... Gl�ck Auf Volker -- Conclusions In a straight-up fight, the Empire squashes the Federation like a bug.
