The implementation of AIO in 2.5 is the one by Ben LaHaise (not
SGI). Not sure what the performance is like -- although it's been
merged into 2.5 already, so someone can do some benchmarking. Can
anyone suggest a good test?

Keep in mind that glibc has had a user-space implementation for a
little while (although I'd guess the performance to be unimpressive),
so AIO would not be *that* kernel-version specific.

RH AS uses Ben LaHaise's implemention of AIO, I believe.

Cheers,
