I've noticed palpable improvements (the feel of using the machine) enabling all of these except for the compressed cache but have no data to support my feelings. The machine I tried them on was up for 3 weeks with heavy loads and proved to be quite stable. I've posted a combined patch at: http://kernel.kolivas.net Feel free to test it out and tell me what you think. Thanks very much to those who put all the effort into each one of these patches.
