I questioned if I should even report this... but here goes:
Until yesterday I was running 2.1.125... I couldn't get this kernel to do anything strange since it came out. I heard all the raves in performance increase do to the > 2.1.126 kernels so I upgraded to 2.1.128.
When I was recompiling gimp, with tkRat, and Netscape running it felt like the machine was running out of ram. (I've got 128m of ram 128m of swap) So I started a rxvt... and it never started... so I switched to a VC and after 10 minutes or so I got a prompt and got logged in... but was never patient enough to actually try to type. I switched back to X and killed it via <shift><back> and it killed all my X apps and the system came back to life.
Why am I bothering to report this? I am because there are three of us here in computer services that have all had these happen in the last few days. These were on kernels 2.1.12[678]. This NEVER NEVER happens on 2.1.125. Something has changed for the worse, but it does FEEL peppier at the keyboard ;-)
