[Drex-hackers] drex--murgiahack--0.0.4 released!

[Gianluca G. <gl...@gm...>]

Hi there,

I've just released the 0.0.4 version of drex--murgiahack.

There are no new improvements, but just some optimization fun.

drex--murgiahack--0.0.4  Release Notes:

Added the Page Global Extension and Makefile infrastructure for
further processor specific speedups.

With PGE bit enabled (it's supported only in pentium or newer
processors) context switching rate shows a +40% improvements.

As ever, I suggest you trying the kernel with the init files you find
in the drex kernel userland page at http://drex.sf.net/userland .

Have fun!
Gianluca
