scheduler improvements : 2.6.21 vs 2.6.22-ck1 vs 2.6.23-rc6
Warning: I have not run any benchmarks. One thing I am (more or less) able to measure is my own ability to headshot in some games like UT99. The other thing is to see if flash videos stutter or die under load. Please remember, this is about desktop usage - not numbers. my computer: PIII-S 1400 (512KB L2) TUSL2-C (i815ep) 512MB PC133 FireGL 8800 (~Radeon 8500 128MB) with dri drivers Hello Ingo, LKML, Here are the results of a few informal tests (flash videos, playing UT99, and looping kernel compilation in background). * 2.6.21.5 is OK but interactivity is not good (i.e. I sometimes get "lag" under load). * 2.6.22-ck1 is better, interactivity-wise, but becomes unusable under load (i.e. a kernel compilation + desktop switch breaks flash videos ; UT99 is too slow when compiling too). * 2.6.23-rc6 is... perfect, as good as can be on my old PC. Flash never breaks even on high I/O or compilation load (within reasonable limits). Gaming is great, which wasn't the case before. Thanks for the good work.

2.6.22-ck1 is the last ever -ck release. So long, and thanks for all the fish This patchset is designed to improve system responsiveness and interactivity.
