U4X Kernel -- increased in performance

Lethal has once again done amazing work as he has submitted a new patch for the kernel to me this afternoon. It seems he has changed around some of the modifications and included a few more patches (more details will follow after final stress testing). Listed below are the speeds (in minutes and seconds) that were acquired through the use of 'time' on updated.

On an unpatched 2.2.10 kernel, real (0m56.668s) user (0m9.080s), and sys (0m7.660s). On a 2.2.15 (above kernel with the modifications), real (0m22.916s), user (0m12.801s), sys (0m9.965s).

That is 59.56% improvement over the unpatched kernel! Now please keep in mind that these numbers are from /one/ test which, stastically speaking is a very low sample size, and will require more testing to confirm these numbers to be completely accurate.
