My problems were a little different. One involved the kernel using swap even
when there was plenty of free RAM available. This bug has apparently been
fixed in subsequent kernel releases. Another was a poor supermount
implementation. For the moment, at least, I will be sticking with 2.4.3 (if
it ain't broke don't fix it).
