I used several of the mm kernels. You won't see any difference
unless you use your Linux box as a recording/editing sound studio.
They do have the preempt and low latency patches, but then again so
do all the other current desktop kernels. The curent tmb kernels
contain some additional patches which may be useful
2.4.22-12.tmb.1mdk
so you're saying that I won't see any gains by using the multimedia
kernel on the 9.2 cds than by using the normal kernel if I use my
computer normally (not always sound ... even if maybe listening to mp3s)
? Only sound related stuff gets improoved?, not also user interactivity
and more processor power going to the app that was just started?
