I can't really make comparisions because I didn't use a stock kernel, however some sites I read while installing said there was gains to be had so I took that option :) > I have heard kernel tuning can make a substantial difference...

As for Debian being out of date, that's only Debian stable, the stable branch is good for servers because you don't get any unexpected surprises, however for non-server stuff you can run testing or unstable packages depending how bleeding edge you want to be. Since I update JOSM independently it doesn't matter to me personally that the stable packages are out of date, but I run stable packages because I don't want surprises on my netbook when I go out to map and end up spending 20-30 mins to fix a problem, kills the mood in a hurry. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
