Hi Woody,
Hmm.... Actually, I've got 2.1.89 by now, (compiled with the latest egcs snapshot, w/o 'fno-strength-reduce', and w/ O9) and I haven't had much trouble with swapping or anything (no, I don't have rik van riel's latest 2-line patch). I'll have to believe you about 2.0.33 being better, as I haven't run it in a while, but 2.1.89 is certainly better for me than some of the recent kernels. I have 64Mb RAM and a 34 Mb swap partition, but I don't tend to use it much. At least, things no longer contually swap or page while running, which they were doing before... Then again, I'm not stressing my system that hard. At least it finally realizes that!!!! I haven't had that much problem with networking myself. I've got a 33.6k modem which is usually running at 26.4 :) The only problem that I can obviously see is that I get a lot of 'TCPv4 bad checksum' messages from everybody, which I don't remember on 2.0.33. That might relate to your problem... or it might relate to the possibility that I have line noise now :) Still I'm pretty sure that I get it only from certain hosts. I noticed that Alan Cox was looking for a bug that rejected packets with padding or something, that was causing a knfsd bug (I think). Perhaps these are related...
