I'm pretty happy with 2.6.0-mm2 right now, which seems to give me better performance then 2.4.22 with all the patches in place. i chose to run the mm patch because i had trouble with my disk performance and Andrew included a ext3-latency-fix.patch ... in the end it appeared that my trouble were because i accedently included my chipset support only as a module which was never loaded, so the disk wasn't in udma mode. after that i've never had as little xruns at 64 frames per period, 2 periods per buffer as ever before! only about 2 an hour and that's when i'm doing my non audio stuff, being rough with memory, rough with the amount of programs opened at the same time and rough with switching between them. imho 2.6.0 is a great step forwards, and i only hope that networking wouldn't always get more priority then audio, although must say that i only notice this to be a problem when i provide offline backup storage for weird people who are so desperate for backups that they use newsgroups for their movie collection ;) martijn.
