Linux Kernel Benchmarking: 2.4 vs. 2.6-test

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the number-crunching dept.

frooyo pastes from kerneltrap: "Cliff White recently posted some re-AIM multiuser benchmark results comparing the stable 2.4.23-pre5 kernel against the 2.6.0-test5 and 2.6.0-test5-mm4 development kernels. In his conclusion he makes reference to earlier scheduler tests posted by Mark Wong saying, "Short summary: we mostly rock.""

  1. MPPE build in 2.6?? by Malc · · Score: 1, Troll

    After all these years since I first tried to dial in to a Microsoft network I still can't do it without first compiling my own kernel and pppd! I'm just a bit annoyed as I'm sitting here watching my Debian Unstable kernel recompile. For one change: added CONFIG_PPP_MPPE=m. This is a frustrating waste of time! Will this be built in the 2.6 kernels, or do I have to hope that somebody comes up with a better implementation (in Debian non-free perhaps) for this?

    Ah, more importantly, does it have a screen that goes by and says that windows^Wlinux 2000^W2.6 kernel runs games faster than the previous version because the hardware is better?

    That reminds me of an even older joke, involving Kathleen Fent and Red Hat 9.0
