Hey jordan, Could you share your optimizations with us? I'm also runnins 2.6.34 here (2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64), I have problems with my rt-kernel, it freezes my system (thinkpad w510). Maybe something with video card or whatever, but I don't have the time to really investigate what is happening, so I must get the best from the generic kernel for now :-) 2010/9/19 jordan <triplesquarednine@xxxxxxxxx>: > Hi Clark, > >> I'll second this sentiment.
