I am sorry if this is pretty redundent, but I have to say that I wish now I upgraded my kernel from 2.4 to 2.6 a long while ago. This is the first time I actually used it for anything.
And the responsiveness is wonderfull. I am doing another kernel compile right now as a test and with 100% cpu usage my system seems more responsive then it did when I was running 2.4 with the CPU at near idle.
And this is with the Xfree86 "NV" driver instead of the propriatory nvidia drivers.... Now I understand why people were whiling to wrestle with updating their systems rather then putz around with the old 2.4 series.
It's been awhile since I was pleasently suprised by my computer.
