Good point. However, we are in a position to compare test results of
older linux kernels against newer, and to recompile code out of the
kernel for specific applications. I'm curious if there is a collection
of lmbench results of hand configured and compiled kernels vs the vendor
module based kernels across 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 and recent 2.5 on the same
uniprocessor and dual processor configuration. That would really give
us a better idea of how a properly tuned kernel vs what people actually
use for support reasons is costing us, and if we're winning or losing.
