You might want to visit this website. http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/ "These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness, with emphasis on desktop pcs. Thanks go to all the real kernel developers who made them." Benchmarking stuffs (.4.20-ck3 / aa / rmap with contest) http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=104479752708560&w=2 > According to one person on the local LUG, the patch might make certain parts > of the (2.4) kernel potentially unstable. Can somebody verify this? 1) tux (the last time I ran tux, i encountered problems). 2) win4lin (one version older). 3) another app, but i think it is not related to this preemptiveness patch.
