And on yet another side note Mike, I just did a make -j8 for all make options in my makeit script, something I don't normally do, and while running 2.6.20.3-rdsl-0.31, building 2.6.21-rc4, the machine remained 100% responsive, worst case keyboard lag that I observed might have been 200 or 300 milliseconds. The machine remained usable, which to me is the bottom line. And no, I wasn't running xmms at the time or watching tvtime else I'd have awakened the missus. I'm having a hard time justifying your continual fussing as its obviously a huge improvement to me. What makes your system and loading so much different from mine I wonder... In the meantime I'm a very happy camper about this patch. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
