Patchset update: http://kernel.kolivas.org These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness with specific emphasis on the desktop, but suitable/configurable to any workload. Read details and FAQ on my web page or feel free to email my mailing list with queries. This version is a recommended performance and bugfix update for those already running ck5. It does not include any of the newer latency hacks etc in 2.6.8-rc* as this version (2.6.7-ck6) is to retain the stability already present in -ck5.
