What does that mean? Gentoo uses a heavily patched kernel which goes far beyound of what we dicuss > # time bzip2 -9k linux-2.6.0-test5.tar > > real 2m40.974s > user 2m33.679s ... > user 2m49.316s Even then, it's about only 10 percent. Let's compare them with vanilla kernel, optimised for P4: # time bzip2 -9k out.wav real 0m42.862s user 0m41.410s sys 0m0.310s The same running an unoptimised vanilla kernel: real 0m40.990s user 0m40.640s sys 0m0.350s Where is the performance gain you are talking about? Not even two percent, haha. MfG, Eduard. -- Wie man sein Kind nicht nennen sollte: Ken Guru
