Well one possibility is that if you have ACPI turned on it can drastically slow down your linux box. so disable acpi and rerun your benchmarks. THe other option would be to disable preemption in the kernel config and recompile a non preemptible kernel and see if it improves your benchmarks. Actually the 2.6 kernels main feature was that that it responds faster to events, that is why it appears faster than 2.4, and also why people prefer 2.6 for a desktop system. > Please do not post false benchmarks, because you feel like attacking me. No, I not flame you because I know you speaking the truth. Even when I disable ACPI the 3d performance under 2.4 was much faster than 2.6. > I really want to figure out why this is happening, and what to do, to > fix it. As I am sure it will help and benefit other people as well. The two suggestions, ie disabling acpi and turning pre emption off are the things I can think of at the moment.
