Benchmarks Compared For Kernels 2.4.25 and 2.6.4

Josh MacLean writes "I noticed a link to an interesting article over at OSNews comparing performance of Linux kernels 2.4.25 and 2.6.4. While the workstation benchmarks are rather mundane, the server benchmarks (including Apache and MySQL) proved to be quite interesting. The rest of the Linux geeks might appreciate this. The comment thread that's linked on the last page is turning out to be relatively amusing as well."

I installed 2.6 by Anonymous Coward · 2004-03-30 08:37 · Score: 0, Funny

I installed 2.6 at the weekend. At first it looked like it was *way* slower then 2.4, but then I realised that I had forgotten to turn DMA on, doh!

I have been having lots of fun playing with alsa and jack.
