Here are contest (http://contest.kolivas.net) results for 2.4.20-ck1 
(http://kernel.kolivas.net). This is the default ck1 patchset with the -aavm 
and these include the optional low latency disk hack enabled:

Points to note: 
It is more than just coincidence that the results of -ck are good with contest 
since responsiveness is the main aim in my patchset and contest is my main 
testing method. I resisted posting these results because they look rigged, 
but many people have asked for them

A lot of these benchmarks occur in the setting of competing writes/reads from 
disk and the disk hack will be responsible for most of the low scores. This 
disk hack is not recommended for use in situations where throughput is 
important (eg servers). The lower throughput is not noticeable most of the 
time on a desktop, but the lack of pauses and increased responsiveness is 
noticed. It does cause a noticeable slowdown on devices with poor caching of 
their own (eg zip disks).

I am looking into the lower mem_load performance. This appears to have 
surfaced with the resync to 2.4.20. Most of the vm changes to 2.4.20-ck1 were 
similar to 2.4.19-ck* but were the latest patches from -aa's tree. I have 
been investigating moving to -rmap for the default tree as it matures but 
it's performance, while improving, is not quite as good on contest just yet.
