If you are already running Red Hat, you really should try one of their
2.4.18 kernels.  I'm personally running 2.4.18-5.

The Red Hat kernels are much closer to -ac than the stock kernels,
including stuff like rmap.  They should give considerably better
performance than vanilla 2.4.17.

Besides, if you do have problems with a Red Hat kernel, they should
get their kernel people on it ASAP.  They ship UML with the current
beta...
