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

[Vanger <fa...@gm...>]

Well, yes, I thought it is a known fact.
It may be interesting, that 2.6 kernel needs 32 MBs of memory minimum.
While 2.4 kernel runs good on the machines with 16MBs on board.

Why is it - I have a strong feeling, that it is something with
sheduler(). It was complicated to use the resources of modern
computers more efficiently. I didn't do benchmarkings too, but modern
computer (Athlon64 2800+) seems to run faster on 2.6 kernel, then on
2.4.

I'm risking to be severly beaten, but this is the same situation as
with Win98 and WinXP kernels ;) .
