I remember reading a while back that the 2.6 kernel is
considerably slower then the 2.4 kernel (Wolfgang Denx). Has
anybody taken any performance measurements on a later kernel
version to see if the above still hods true?

I'm thinking about moving to 2.6 since a lot of open source
projects have stopped suporting the 2.4 kernel.
