There is enough stuff you {c,sh}ould be working on,
trust me.

Here is my (short) list. I'm sure others must have more:
- threaded dcache
- better VM (http://www.linux.eu.org/Linux-MM/)
- fair scheduler (http://www.surriel.com/patches)
- (better) support for NUMA machines
- <your idea here>
Note that some parts of the new VM are already usable and
stable and are ready for 2.4 inclusion (where I'd like to
see them since 2.2/2.3 VM performance was just poor).
regards,
Rik
