Hi Con,=20 I have 2.6.21-ck1 running happily on a variety of machines. Everything seem= s=20 fine on both uniprocessor and SMP machines.=20 I've been running SD for a couple of weeks now, including alternating betwe= en=20 a SD patched kernel and an "old" staircase based kernel for a week of that.= =20 SD seems perfectly smooth. In fact on going back to the old kernel for a da= y=20 I'm sure it felt more "choppy". I don't really do benchmarks, "feel" is mor= e=20 relevant to me. Right now I'd say my R4 "feels" better with SD than it has= =20 for a long time. Nice Job. Thanks for persisiting. As an aside I realized whilst trying non ck kernels the last few weeks just= =20 how much of a difference swap prefetch actually makes on a lowish memory=20 machine such as this.
