Microsoft makes online updating of XP sooo
easybut there is no simple mechanism to store the updates for later
re-installations...or to tell the automatic updater to look/store them
in a particular directory.
hmmm... I wonder what this is, then?
The 'problem' is, that 2.6 favours 'nice' processes and penalises CPU-hungry
or 'not nice' processes. This is why you should not renice X with 2.6.
There were also rather significant changes to the schedulers in 2.6 -
I believe that's more likely to be the cause of this effect.
