I would appreciate it as you mentioned the key words "performance" and "data=ordered" in one sentence ... ;-)) Does the iget5_locked patch (Oleg?!) get updated or is it obsolete? It didn't apply fine to 2.4.21-pre6. So I skipped it for that kernel. I didn't try kernels > 2.4.21-pre6 so far -- my simple question is: Are the new patches in the queue or have they been forgotten over time? Or are there some compounds or merges in progress?!! Many thanks for clarification, best regards, Manuel
