Is this patch going to be incorporated into the kernel? Or where can I get it? Is it good on a pentium as well as PPro?
I haven't had a chance to modify it for 2.1 yet, but I would like to see Linus put it in 2.1. You can get it from my web page (see my .signature below). It works on a Pentium Pro, but only delivers a marginal speedup. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@tiac.net> http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/
