-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 2.2 uses a different vm, and shouldn't be used, its old its obselete and i would be surprised if any new hardware worked -good- on it. ..
As for 2.4.9 the vm that was in there was removed in all kernels versions after it.. I'm not sure the reasoning why , but i believe Linus was having difficulities with it .. ie he had poor io and interactivity performance from it. So he ripped it out and put in a vm based off of the earlier vm work in the aa patchset for the 2.4 kernel tree's. As for the vm in 2.4.9 , it's no longer worked on. The author of that particular vm Rik Van Riel, has a newer vm out based off of reverse mappings ( not sure how this works , but you can check out his site http://www.surriel.com/patches/ ). Anyhow the rmap vm he made is now used in all newer redhat kernels, and a light implementation of it was merged into 2.6. It would be more intresting to benchmark the 2.4.9 kernel, against a more modern kernel like 2.4.22 ( applied w/ either aa-vm or rrmap-vm ) and then with 2.6.0-testX version. However I still believe most of this is Valve's fault.. They either need to shape up and improve the cpu usage of there products, or all together release the source code for other ppl to do work on it. This is ridiculous that server administraters have to downgrade there systems in order to get better half-life server results.
