You want to be even more impressed, try adding "2.2.0-pre4-arca-VM-7" (downloaded from Andrea's web page,) and patch-2.2.0pre4-ac3.
The improvement (over 2.0.35) in high-load situations is truly amazing.
Been bangin' on it hard, and it hasn't rolled over yet.
I just want to reiterate Paul's thanks, guys.
BTW, I do have some archived benchmarks from 2.0.35 from lmbench, nbench, and bm. Some of these are with different hardware configurations, etc, but I will try to sort through them and see if I can come up with some meaningful apples to compare and summarize within a couple of days...

just a quick success report. I just jumped from 2.1.131 tonight all the way to 2.2.0-pre4. It has seen 4 complete kernel compiles, 4 full reboots, a bunch of MIDI I/O, RT FIFO processes, and lots of other development work tonight. No problems of any kind noted. This is all on a dual PII-450 on an SuperMicro P6DBU (Award BIOS, Adaptec 7890 U2W SCSI).
Subjective speed is way up. X performance has visibly improved (probably the mtrr stuff ?) A kernel compile with my usual config takes 1m 48s (elapsed, on 2 processors (899.48 BogoMIPS) using make -j4 MAKE="make -j4").
i've wanted to say thanks before, but this time i really should say it: Thanks to Linus and every Linux kernel contributor who has made this possible. And thanks also to every user-land contributor who has enabled me to sit in front of a lightning fast machine and have easy access to the source code for every aspect of this ultra-stable, ultra-usable system.
Hell, this is so fast, I might even bother to get GNOME :)
