The kernel is the big one. There's probably also some stuff going on with glibc. Before I upgraded, I put the 2.6.3 kernel onto an FC1 box. The difference in boot time, from grub menu to login prompt was 30 seconds: 75 seconds for 2.4.22 (nptl), vs 45 seconds for 2.6.3. All hail the gang of new schedulers. -- You can reach either for the stars or your ankles http://www.hacksaw.org -- http://www.privatecircus.com -- KB1FVD
