Unless the box is getting driven really hard, there won't be any noticable difference. = Lonni J. Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step help: http://netllama.ipfox.com . __ Do You Yahoo!?

OK, but that's performing a server role. I'm really interested in a desktop role. --- Douglas J Hunley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Net Llama spewed electrons into the ether that assembled into: > > Just wondering if anyone had tried out the kernel pre-empt patch, > and if > > so, what were the results?

linux-sxs.org is running it! makes a hell of a difference in the
responsiveness, IMHO.

I have not used Montia Vista's patch, but I run a kernel everyday that is fully preemptible and consistently enjoy a snappier system under load. However, kernel preemption is more about having things happen on time than it is having things happen quickly -- or at least this is my understanding. It remains to be seen whether or not desktop usage can be improved dramatically by running a near real-time kernel. Kurt -- Loan-department manager: "There isn't any fine print.

anyone using the pre-empt kernel patch?
Just wondering if anyone had tried out the kernel pre-empt patch, and if so, what were the results? I've read some encouraging stuff, but what i want are personal stories of whether there is a noticable performance improvement on a desktop box. = Lonni J.
