I just ran a two job memory/FPU intensive test under 2.1.85
and got no performance degradation with having a second Job running
on a Dual Pro-200. Under 2.0.x I used to see about a 20% performance
hit on both jobs. This is a phenominal improvement, I had thought the
problem had been with memory contention but it seems this was kernel
related. What was done to the kernel to make this improvement.
