    SubjectLinux 2.4.17 vs 2.2.19 vs rml new VM
    I'd like to say that as of 2.4.17 w/preempt patch, the linux kernel
    seems again to perform as well as 2.2.19 for interactive use and
    reliability, at least in my use.

    2.4.17 still croaks running some of the giant memory applications
    that I run successfully on 2.2.19. (Machines with 2GB of RAM
    running 3GB+ apps.)

    I tried rmap-10 new VM and under my typical load my desktop machine
    froze repeatedly. Seemed the memory pool was going down the drain
    before the freeze. Meaning apps were failing and getting stuck in
    various odd states.

    No doubt, preempt and rmap-10 are incompatible, but I'm not going to
    give up the preempt patch any time soon.

    All in all 2.4.17 w/preempt is very satisfactory.
