I tried this with normal developer box type load on a slow box ie; 2x 400MHz 512MB source/build fs' on UW2 SCSI kernel: 2.5.72-mm3 2x make -j2 bzImage bk pull (linux-2.5 repo) cvs import of 2.5 tree navigating bk revtool (this normally causes pauses) read disk benchmark just to thrash IDE about a bit ;) Still a few MP3 pauses (due to bk revtool mainly) but mouse/keyboard response was good, there is however a vast improvement over 2.5.73 stock (2-5s pauses with no keyboard/mouse response) for my particular workload. zwane@montezuma ~ {0:0} uptime 14:18:06 up 54 min, 25 users, load average: 7.33, 6.58, 5.59 zwane@montezuma ~ {0:0} vmstat 1 procs memory swap io system cpu r b w swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id 3 3 1 27444 3628 4012 108068 4 11 5837 1680 841 994 58 22 20 1 5 0 27428 4920 8184 107924 8 0 11292 948 1551 3081 49 51 0 3 3 1 27432 3832 7764 107664 0 8 13084 1440 1503 2192 52 45 3 1 5 0 27432 14552 20992 83772 332 0 16320 844 1632 2721 56 44 0 0 6 0 24500 15568 31548 91088 224 0 17160 0 1552 2423 67 33 0 2 4 1 24504 2916 33428 96788 32 0 21912 580 1703 2969 62 38 0 4 2 2 24508 3284 25688 98812 0 4 23248 2164 1575 2507 74 26 0 2 4 1 24512 2780 18984 103752 0 8 22412 796 1606 2693 76 24 0 6 2 0 24516 4012 13324 107712 0 4 20224 1604 1738 2916 69 31 0 6 1 1 24528 2196 14836 108172 0 8 20188 2472 2260 4051 58 42 0 -- function.linuxpower.ca - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
