Hi Linus, all
Just tried your buffer.c patch (to 2.2.0-pre7-ac4), and you asked: "does that make your performance less jerky?"
Yep, a LOT! :)
- My read-large-mailbox-with-pine-'locking' problem mentioned before seem to have gone! At least i wasn't able to reproduce it again, even not after some stress testing (scrolling trough same _even larger_ mailbox in pine, /sbin/swapout 200 (256MB onboard), kernel compiling, X in 32bpp, netscape+java, find /, etc) - A kernel compile (make dep clean zImage modules modules_install) with lots of unneeded modules takes now just 13 minutes instead of normal 14+ minutes (2'nd compile after stresstest).
Im very positive about that patch, but i've _just_ 1h17 uptime yet, and i havn't rebooted yet to do a fs-check.
More penguins to follow ? :)
