> Kernel - 2.3.99-pre6-5 (as is), Slackware 7.0 (libc6).
Kernel 2.3.99-pre6 + 2 of my patches
also running a 180MB haskell interpreter, on a 64MB
machine
> $ find / -xdev -type f | xargs -n 1 -P 100 md5sum
Using only 10 md5sums (because of smaller memory and
because I want to see the impact it has on how much
cpu the big memory hog can still get) the system seems
to run just fine...
There is still one issue to resolve with my patch (it
isn't very good in the face of heavy disk writes), but
once that's fixed everything should be ok.
So to answer your question, there's no big need to worry
about 2.4 performance, but I *would* like your feedback
on my patches (http://www.surriel.com/patches) so that I
can tune the algorithms for your workloads too.
regards,
Rik
