Well, for kicks, I tried setting HZ to 1024 with 2.2.19. It seemed a

YMMV. The most useful "performace" tweak for a GUI that I've come across is:

Are there any negative effects of editing include/asm/param.h to change

No more patch-and-recompile to add a filesystem o

Sounds great; unfortunately, the core group has spoken out against a
modular kernel.
Perhaps IBM should get together with SGI, HP and other interested
