I usually run byte bench regularly with every new kernel, so I see some strange results here.
From your numbers, I would say you are using a PIII 600/900 Mhz (more or less). It is not an AMD AThlon or a PIV, since float and double are too slow, not it is a K6 because they are too fast.

this could vary a little

the difference should never be so big

seeing this I think you had something running in background using your CPU while you where running int tests. if you loock at bm/results/log (log.accum if you did some other run recently) should find lines like:
Arithmetic Test (type = int)|10.0|lps|227163.1|227158.7|6
that is a little more interesting if you are under load.

this could vary because of a lot of factors, starting from a bad page colouring going to sendmail activity.

this is interesting, but seeing previous results about int and short, I am curious about your real load. I am quite curious if with 2.5 you are using kernel preemption.

I saw the save with IDE disks... again, are you using kernel preemption?

In my tests generally shell scripts are faster with 2.5 kernel.
