Subject: Re: 2.4.20-ac1 hangs IBM Thinkpad
Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2002 12:53:32 +0000 (GMT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021210125332.69872.qmail@web10305.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

I have also stopped using 2.4.20-ac1 on my ThinkPad.
It performs much worse than 2.4.20-pre8-ac1 when running
large applications such as OpenOffice.  (It never crashed
on me, though.)  Having read the recent thread on changes
to the scheduler and yield(), I suspect that the problem
is related to that, since the 2.4-ac series has the O(1)
scheduler.

If my suspicion is correct, then I concur with the opinion
that O(1) should not be backported to mainline 2.4.
