I'v just compilied the lastest dev kernel, and I must say I am impressed. This thing is fast. This kernel seems to of speeded up everything. For example when loading xfce, with the 2.4.xx kernel it would take a couple of seconds to load up, but with the 2.5 kernel it takes about one second, you don't even see the loading screen anymore.
I can also play several movies using mplayer without any frame loss.
But on the flip side there seems to be some problems with certain programs. For example after using three filters cinelerra just quites without any error messages.
But at the end of the day this my old machine has regained it's wow factor. Cannot wait until the first stable release.
Can't imagine how fast this kernel would be one a 2Ghz+ system.
Just my 2 cents...
