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

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

I don't know if there is an official announcement of patch releases but
today i spotted and started to use the new 2.6.22-rc4-ck1.

The list of patches included on 2.6.22-rc4-ck1 it's on
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/pre-releases/2.6.22-rc4/2.6.22-rc4-ck1/patches/

It's working...
