It's a bit better, but not what it has been: Over relatively quiet 10mb/s network, I can get no more than 830k/s ftp, where 2.1.8x were doing only about 720k/s. 2.0 and previous 2.1 would often get upwards of 1mb/s. Local throughput is a lot better -- up to 7.5mb/s from about 3mb/s on .89; there's always a stall after about the first 25k, though -- is this related to the bandwidth problem? > > pre-90 does a few other minor things, like for example getting rid of > > kerneld because the new kmod thing is a lot simpler in many ways.

Don't know the correct fix, though.
