Linux 3.0 Will Be Faster Than 2.6.39

Posted by timothy on from the phrase-in-person-hours-saved dept.

sfcrazy writes "While we were thinking that the announcement of 3.x branch was nothing more than Linus' mood swing, it seems there is more to it. Linus wrote on the Linux Kernel Mailing List, '3.0 will still be noticeably faster than 2.6.39 due to the other changes made (ie the read-ahead), so yes, the regression itself is fixed.'"

    good thing the regression is sorted

    Even the regressions are much faster in 3.0!

    What with the shorter version number, the kernel should now load faster, use less memory, and execute more quickly.
