Hi Steve
There were some scheduling problems with 2.2.18. It's just kind of
slow. It gets stuck doing some stuff for some reason. Redrawing the
screen is quite a bit slower. Fortunately from what I can tell with out
having done some major testing it looks like 2.4.2 is much better about
this then any of the kernels since 2.2.16. Just my observations. Yes I
did notice that slackware hasn't moved the development trees to 2.4
yet. I sure hope they do.
