Re: 2.6.22-rc4-ck1 - Re: -ck patch | Feedback

["Miguel Pais" <miguelpais@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

After a lot of good feedback about the -ck patch from Celso Ramos, I
decided to try my chances and see for myself the difference.
I had a few problems to struggle first, but nothing to do with ck...

When I finally rebooted my Pentium4 computer, I truly noticed a
difference in the loading time of the operating system. I can be
mistaken, but it appeared to me a gain of 1,50 % of the loading speed.

On a graphic environment the changes are more difficult to notice, and
I may be wrong if I say it's faster, just because I'm expecting to see
speed improvements.

By the way, I'm using it on a  2.6.21 kernel.

Many thanks to the developers,
Miguel Pais
