Is there the equivalent of 'git bisect' for the -mmX kernels?

Please take the time to do that.  Yours is an interesting report - I'm not
aware of anything in there which was expected to cause a change of this
mature.


There are at least two patches in 2.6.19-rc5-mm2 that make my system much more responsive for interactive jobs. The one that has the majority of the effect is:

radix-tree-rcu-lockless-readside.patch

I have not been able to isolate the second patch, which has the lesser effect. All I can say is that it occurred before the above patch in patches/series. This patch was tested against 2.6.19 and fixed most of the problem on that version.
