[Vectorlinux-devel] 2.6.x.x kernel slow?

[Marcel B. <ma...@we...>]

Hi,

I have been testing and optimizing services for VL 5.1 std, VL 5.0.1 SOHO and VL 5.1.1 SOHO. With newer machines Amd 700 / PIII the 2.6 kernel works fine and there is no noticable loss of speed. However with slower machines the 2.6 kernel is slowing things down. I can't figure out where the problem is. On my testing laptop PII 266Mhz, 64 MB VL 5.1 std (IceWm) is way to slow. With a stripped down 5.0.1 SOHO (IceWm) it runs fine for browsing/e-mail/typing letters/the gimp/programming with Gambas.
