2.4.14-pre3 The greased weasel is back
2.4.13-ac3 Inconsistent results on mtest01
2.4.13-ac3-freeswap patch for 2.4.12-ac3 makes results consistent in mtest01
Test: Run mtest01 and mmap001 from Linux Test Project.
Listen to long running (50+ minutes) mp3 sampled at 128k.
Default kernel parameters.
Light interactive use: lynx, 2 bitchx (console IRC client) sessions,
vmstat 8, iostat -d 10. (52k link to net - mostly idle).
2.4.13-pre3 had much better interactive response than 2.4.13-ac3
during these tests. No X.
Hardware:
AMD 1333 Athlon
512 MB RAM
1024 MB swap
