IO-APIC support on uniprocessor.
preemptible kernel support   ( if u intend to get a kernel for fast desktop 
support)
4kb stacks rather than 8kb ( it supports more threads )

honestly telling u that I haven't noticed any such differences . may be I 
haven't used any such application which point it out.  And yes I use icewm in 
place of KDE . icewm takes only few seconds to come up. at the same time to get 
the speed I have to say * buy*  to my favourite KDE. I use GTK based 
application in place of Qt based graphic enriched front-end for getting good 
response . definitely Sylpheed-claws is *very fast* than KMail, *BUT* the 
features which are  inbuilt in KDE still override that of Sylpheed-claws and 
obviously that *great look* of KMail !!! again that intelligent file-browser 
Konqueror which can display PDF, thumbnails of images, text, etc.etc.... using 
its embedded viewer based on plugins. so u need not open the particular 
application. I fell Konqueror is much much more than a file-browser.  but the 
million dollars logic is we *don't* upgrade our system in every 6 months/1 year 
and we *do* upgrade our S/W during this time. KDE follows a tradition to b!
 ecome more & more resource hungry and slower. so these up-gradation of KDE and 
Qt makes our recent H/W useless. where icewm and GTK run very well on a POOR 
PI. I have personally test it on my old PI.

present is devfs but udev is definitely the future. so it is the right time to 
gradually move for udev.
