Hi Tony, LKML Since there appears to be renewed interest of late in dynamic ticks... You didn't respond with my last patch for dynamic ticks so I assume that's because you threw up when you saw what a mess it is. Anyway I'm sorry for sending you that naive mess the first time around. Here is a full patch for 2.6.13-rc4 pushing code out of common paths and into dyn-tick.h where possible that builds on any config I can throw on it so far. I'm having trouble with "bad gzip magic" on boot with this one so I'm not really sure what's going on. Perhaps someone on the mailing list can shed some light on it. Cheers, Con
