Subject: preempt count -- logging off?

Hi,

The subject basically says it all .. I want to turn off kernel logging
of preempt, but I see no option in kernel config. It is all over my
dmesg and various logs, and I fear it is slowing my system's
responsiveness. Any ideas? ex.:

mozilla[11409] exited with preempt_count 2
mozilla-bin[18289] exited with preempt_count 3
mozilla-bin[1531] exited with preempt_count 1
netstat[28025] exited with preempt_count 3
xmms[19505] exited with preempt_count 1

Thanks a lot!

Turning this off would be a bad thing, since this is showing you that
you have a problem.

Hm... are you using XFS?
