yes, have been using the 2.6 series almost as soon as it was released 
and used to use the patches from minion.de until the
5336 nvidia driver was released. I don't exactly understand your Q (too 
hitech for me ;-) however I figure you are asking
 me about it's (kernel's) performance under heavy loads. well I ran 3 
instances of xine playing (what else) 'Highway Star'
at the same time on KDE which I think should put the cpu under load, Kde 
being the major load :) with no problems.
this was . 2.6.1or .2 maybe...........
