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.
