Another Note: Ubuntu installs with a default kernel set for i386 processors. Because I use an i686 kernel, I found upgrading also increased my system performance significantly. To do this, you can use Synaptic to search for linux-image-2.6.10-5-k7 if you use AMD or linux-image-2.6.10-5-686 for Pentium Pro/Celeron/Pentium II/Pentium III/Pentium IV. You should see a perfomrance increase since the kernel would be optimized to use new instructions introduced since i386. I haven't personally done a comparison, but I usually go to the i686 kernel version. Yes, you'll need to recompile the SHFS kernel module, but if you've done it once, it shouldn't be to difficult to do it again. I believe you'll only need the headers for the kernel you are using.
