I would appreciate being copied in on any replies. Ok, I finially had a chance to compile the 2.2.20-pre10 Kernel and run it though some basic paces. I need to do more specific A vs b (against the 2.2.19 Kernel), but it seems there are some performance issues. It is seems especially obvious with Netscape 4.78. I also had a odd Xfree error, that may have had some relationship to the performance issue. I have to say at this point the issue seems selective and not a general one, but I need to do a bit more checking. I cannot forsee this checking happening until this weekend. I seem to also observe some iteresting memory management differences with the 2.2.20-pre10 kernel vs the 2.2.19 kernel with the Open Wall patch. Agian not enough day to day use logged in to give a sense. Then if I do sense, the challence to how to quanitify this will follow. Just thought you like to know. Oh, I keep forgetting to ask, is there any issue related to the superblock work that has been going on in tha last few version of the 2.4 kernel and a 2.2.19 or other 2.2.x kernel? Only asking as seemd to have some very interesting problems show up back after switching back from 2.4.8 kernel to the 2.2.19 kernel. Regards, John L.
