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."

It's my pergamyno of 2.6.x vs 2.4.x

[Anonymous Coward]

I switched back to my linux-2.4.x forever because the linux-2.6.x is *aprox*:

> +90% bigger the kernel
> +45% slower compiling the kernel
< -7% slower response
> +10% worse performance
> +320% harder to maintain
> +200% of insecurities
> +66% of hangs and unstability
> +20% of incompatibility
> +580% harder to fork to any lite-version.
