I have noticed that performance "seems" to have a quicker response time
with the new kernel. For instance when I do an operation in Midnight
Commander, the scrolling speed thru files is noticably faster, things
apperar to "pop to the screen" quicker. The same is true with starting
X, windows seem to "pop open" quicker, and X itself starts up faster.
I know this is totally subjective, but it is noticable.
