Amazing! I've not had a chance to upgrade a server to 2.4 yet, though I've long imagined that the results would be similar.
I imagine the biggest performance boost you received is due to the built-in multi-threading that the 2.4 kernel enjoys which is currently lacking in the 2.2 kernel. Linux is becoming more robust all the time along with a pretty hard kernel. It's come a looooooooong way in a short time. Linux is developing along a more solid path than Windoze. Even the big boys are turning to open source to handle the high-traffic/high-availability jobs. Yahoo saved somewhere around 17 million dollars by switching needed infrastructure over to linux/open source. I just read today that MySQL is their big database that handles 800 transactions a second for their stock quotes and financial handlings. In the year that M$ wants to rent the OS to you, linux will only continue to grow in it's usage as the desktop gets more friendly and the applications are developed to make people want to use linux instead of windoze.
