The 'fix' for the F16 kernel is simply that, with the rc6 build, debugging has been disabled. debugging is never disabled in Rawhide kernels, so if debugging overhead is your problem, no Rawhide kernel is going to cure it. To check if this is the case, just grab the latest F16 kernel - *not* the latest Rawhide kernel - and see if that improves things. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
