I've also been running 2.2.4 on a Redhat 5.2 system running on a relatively busy Compaq 1850R (dual PII-450) for a couple of days. No crashes or unexpected behaviour. It's really really fast. My seat of the pants method of real world performance measurement is to time the compilation of a piggy program like emacs. Snarfing emacs-20.3 and doing a make -j all, completed the task in 57 seconds. Yow! That's more than 2.5X as fast as the dual PPro-200 850R's that I had been using at the office. And it probably could have been faster. The limiting factor seemed to be the system waiting for disk IO to complete (on a pair of hot swappable 4.3gig 7200rpm drives).
