Yup. I find that my disk I/O has slowed about 4MB/s (about 25%) using the
Bonnie benchmark program, as compared to the 2.2.15 kernel. Everything
seems to be working though... New in this kernel (among lots of other
stuff) is FB support for nVidia and 3Dfx cards... my new 160x64 console is
SWEET! Also DRI kernel support for X.
I'm going to run the bonnie tests again. I may have been doing something
stupid like putting different loads on the system by doing stuff while the
tests were running.
I'm also going to run the test with a 2.2.13 kernel I have kicking around.

http://www.us.kernel.org
ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org
I downloaded the kernel in just a couple of minutes from one of those...
Cable modem of course. Didn't notice the transfer rate but it was fast
enough for me not to notice, which means it went pretty fast. They've got
a pretty fat pipe.
