Hi all,
After patching 2.1.89pre4 to compile for non SMP, and applying another patch so smbfs compiles, and hacking arch/i386/Makefile to compile with -march=pentium -mcpu=pentium (for pgcc 1.01).
The swap performance has improved a fair bit. I can now load netscape, while playing an mp3 without having the sound skip. However, when I try to load gimp (with netscape and everything else loaded) the sound skips like crazy with the mouse pointer stopping and starting when I move it around. (I really hate that, even Windows doesn't do that)
Here are a few nigglies (output of stderr during compile)
arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o: In function `setup_x86_irq': arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o(.text+0x28f1): undefined reference to `enable_IO_APIC_irq' arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o: In function `probe_irq_on': arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o(.text+0x298b): undefined reference to `enable_IO_APIC_irq' arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o: In function `unmask_generic_irq': arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o(.text+0x2d1c): undefined reference to `enable_IO_APIC_irq' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
(this was before I applied the irq.c patch) apart from that squeaky clean
Now for make modules..
floppy.c:2475: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype floppy.c: In function `virtualdmabug_workaround': floppy.c:2492: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
ide-cd.c: In function `cdrom_analyze_sense_data': ide-cd.c:274: warning: comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type
/usr/src/linux-pre-2.1.89-4/Rules.make:231: target `adlib_card.o' given more than once in the same rule. This has been around for centuries.. :)

(SAMBA) inode.c:517: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
Conclusion: certainly an improvement, i'll try running gimp/netscape and playing an mp3 in 2.1.88 to confirm in my mind that its a new problem..
Cheers,
Dave.
