Hi. Here follow the benchmark comparisons for the latest kernel release.
Nothing particular to say: patching & compiling went OK (did not have
the time to check PPP...).

Still no sign of life from the site where my benchmark comparison www
page used to reside. If another site wants to offer a small space, I
may install the software & files there. I can't do this here, because
our 14,400 baud link would suffer a bit too much...
