Great! The ck4 performance was actually substantially better than ck3 (on the desktop) so here's hoping you enjoy ck5 which basically performs the same.

Well I think they're all ready for prime time now, I just dont think prime time is ready for it. This is too large a change for mainline 2.6 which keeps -ck in business ;)

It's been around for quite a while, and akpm has not expressed any interest in it so I think this will only ever flounder in the -ck domain.

P.S. You seem to have preempted the arrival of my -ck5 announcement to lkml, as will this response. lkml does that sometimes... P.P.S. It's "isochronous scheduling" :P Means "same time". [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
