Well, it seems that Matthew has been faster than me :-) Yes, I got -ck patches from kamikaze sources. > > > > > Just a question: does the patch include the fix (divide by > > > > zero....) you just posted in the stable review for 2.6.23.9? > > > > > > yeah. > > > > OK, thanks.

I guess I will find myself in a couple of days. To answer your latest mail, again I don't have numbers but from my point ov view: 23.1 < 23.1+ck < 23.8+cfs.24 where 23.1+ck is slightly better than vanilla 23.1 and 23.8+cfs.24 is much better than 23.1+ck. My workload is pretty standard, F8+kde+firefox+kmail+amsn, some kernel compile and so on.
