2.6.0-test6 with low mem box, too slow to start openoffice

[haiquy]

Hi,

Notice one problem probably it is due to the rrmap in VM, with 64Mb RAM
celeron 400Mhz openoffice 1.1 takes 1 minute and 55 second to start!

Compare with 2.4.23-pre5 it only takes 45 seconds!

But this problem doesn't happen with the box of 192Mb of RAM

Hi, thanks for your reply.

However I noticed that if I use 2.6.0-test9-mm1 or
mm2; the problem seems to be solved. With mm1, it even
starts Openoffice faster than 2.4.x (34 sec compared
with 46sec). The only problem with mm kernel is, the
vmware modules for 2.6 kernel I get from 
http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/  causes OOPs. I experience
considerable performance improvd with mm kernel.

Hope finnally the performace tweak in mm kernel will
get merged and the author of vmware modules for 2.6
fixed the OOP.
