In my simple "freesly boot kernel, start X and Mozilla" test 2.4.4-ac5 showed almost identical 'free' output as 2.4.4: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 62760 61368 1392 0 1828 28760 -/+ buffers/cache: 30780 31980 Swap: 160608 0 160608 > Back to the interactivity issue, I suppose you've "felt" bad interactivity > with 2.4.* kernels, right ? Yes, I feel bad interactivety with later 2.4.4-acX kernels, and 2.4.5 kernels. Switching between apps and such feels a lot slower. Let me know if you want me to do more tests. -- André Dahlqvist
